routes. It has a great agricultural and minerals rich hinterland with huge
forests. It has connectivity to all parts of India, both by National Highways
as well as main trunk rail routes and also the air connectivity. Nagpur city is

Multi-modal International Cargo Hub and Airport at Nagpur
(MIHAN) is an airport project for Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar
International Airport, Nagpur. It is the biggest economical development
project currently underway in India in terms of investments. The
project aims to exploit the central location of Nagpur and convert the
present airport into a major cargo hub with integrated road and rail
connectivity.
This Project consists of "Two Parts": namely
§ An International airport to act as a
cargo hub and
§ A Special Economic Zone(SEZ) with residential
zone covering a total area of 40.25 km² on the southern end of
Nagpur.
The Government of Maharashtra formed a special
purpose entity in the name of Maharashtra Airport Development Company (MADC)
for development of MIHAN. The project is financed by multiple Indian banks with
total loan amount of INR 3,000 million along with
investment from state government and Airports Authority of India. With

boom in Nagpur with property prices increasing 25 to 40
percent. Project is expected to add 12 million people to city’s population
by means of direct and indirect employment. The project aims at boosting
the economy of under developed Vidarbha region of Maharashtra and
stop the brain drain to other parts of Maharashtra and
India. From environmental perspective half a million trees would be
planted and there would be no polluting industries in MIHAN.
For growth of any area presence of core industries is a must
and Nagpur has MIDC area, Asia's second largest air maintenance workshop, SEZ,
Gitanjali Jewellery Park, Food Park and many more other projects under
implementation with IT majors presence and logistics businesses.
The Maharashtra government has already taken care of infrastructure
availability like roads, water, power etc. Also to meet the manpower

selected as the consultant for this project.

State government’s Maharashtra Airport Development
Company(MADC) is formed in joint partnerships with equal shares from City
and Industrial Development Corporation(CIDCO),Nagpur Improvement Trust(NIT), Maharashtra
Industrial Development Corporation(MIDC), Maharastra State Road Transport
Corporation(MSRTC) and Nagpur Municipal Corporation(NMC). Singapore
Changi Airport have been selected as the consultants for the project. Indian
Air Force(IAF) is also going to come up with its own Gajraj project
alongside MIHAN.
Indian Railways would have new station coming up near
MIHAN to connect cargo hub with countries rail network. MADC would later play a
larger role in Maharashtra for airports not owned by AAI and IAF. CIDCO
has been selected as it had successfully formed the CIDCO city near Mumbai.
As the project progresses, Nagpur will see an influx of
migrants adding to city’s population. The existing city bus service would not
be able to cope up with this. So a new bus mass transit system would be started
with combine efforts from NMC, NIT, MSRTC and MIDC each organization playing
part in it.NMC and NIT are together responsible for civic administration
in Greater Nagpur Metropolitan Area and MSRTC along with Indian
Railways would be responsible for developing logistic infrastructure.
