A greenfield airport, a 450 MVA power plant and a township of 16,610 hectares on Great Nicobar

Background

Beyond the transhipment terminal now awaiting a final decision, the Great Nicobar Project has three other large components.
A greenfield international airport is planned for 4,000 peak-hour passengers, expected to handle at least 1 million passengers when it opens and about 10 million a year later; Port Blair handles about 1.8 million annually.
A 450 MVA gas and solar power plant is planned.
A new township is to span 16,610 hectares.
The project is to be built in three phases covering 72.12 sq km, 45.27 sq km and 48.71 sq km.
The total area is 166.10 sq km, made up of 35.35 sq km of revenue land and 130.75 sq km of forest land.
