PFR for the Expansion of Dr.

Babasaheb Ambedkar International MIHAN India


Airport, Nagpur. (Maharashtra) Limited (MIL)

1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The proposal is to develop Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar International Airport, Nagpur as an


International Hub Airport. Nagpur is strategically located around the geographical mid-point
of India and is at the cross-roads of air routes, rail and road network of India. Many national
air routes pass through Nagpur air space. The large number of international air routes
passing through Nagpur airspace include air routes between Western world (Europe,
Scandinavia, USA, Canada etc.) and SE Asia / Australasia / Asia and South Pacific countries;
flights from African continent and MID east to Far East as well as those from CIS countries to
S.E. Asia etc. Considering the above and also considering that no other international airport
exists within 400- 500 Kms. around Nagpur, the proposal for a Hub airport at Nagpur gained
further credence.

Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar International Airport, Nagpur, which was earlier owned by the
Airports Authority of India, was brought under a special purpose vehicle, established as a
‘Joint Venture’ between Maharashtra Airport Development Corporation (MADC) and the
Airports Authority of India (AAI) with 51% and 49% stake holding respectively. It is
proposed to develop Nagpur airport as the international hub airport under PPP mode.

With the subdued growth in aviation traffic over last two years, experienced globally and in
India too, inducement to revisit the proposal and undertake the revision of the master plan
also came from the fact that an agreement has been arrived at with IAF to shift the IAF
operations at Nagpur to the newly allocated larger space to IAF, west of the proposed new
parallel runway, thereby making available the land between the proposed new runway and
the existing runway for airport infrastructure.

The traffic projections for passengers, freight and aircraft movements have been provided to
the consultants by MIHAN India Ltd., for the next 30 years, based on the trends in air traffic.
The incremental air-traffic potential, due to the upcoming industry in SEZ area, which have
already commenced construction activity for starting operations in late 2014 or thereafter,
have been computed by the consultants, in close co- ordination with MIL.

Airport, Nagpur. (Maharashtra) Limited (MIL)

The available Nagpur airport infrastructure restricts operations of wide body aircraft with
‘Code E’ configuration, as the present runway only has a length of 3200 m and the existing
sub base strength of the available runway and shoulders restrict regular operations by Code
E type aircraft. The sub base needs to be strengthened and shoulders need to be developed
with appropriate strength. A detailed scheme needs to be prepared for undertaking civil
works to enable regular Code E type aircraft operations. MIL has, in the very recent past,
carried out re-carpeting of the existing runway along with its shoulders. Any development
work on the present runway, till an alternate runway is available, will result in closure of the
airport and hence the need to develop the second runway, meeting both the requirement of
continued airport operations as well as to meet the commitment made by MADC to IAF for
their shifting to new area, before enabling further development of the Nagpur airport
facilities. MIL will be appointing strategic partner for the said development activities.

2.0 INTRODUCTION
Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar International Airport is an international airport serving the
city of Nagpur, Maharashtra, India. The airport is located at Sonegaon, 8 km South-
West of Nagpur. Geographically, airport is located at Latitude 21°05’5.08” to
21°06’35.23” N, Longitude 79°02′3.84″E to 79°03’4.43”E and altitude of 306-320 m of
above MSL.

The proposed development of new parallel runway of 3200 m length, with sub base is
suitable for ‘Code E’ type aircraft operations. In the future development activities it
will be upgraded to ‘Code F CAT F’ type aircraft operations. The associated taxi tracks
are designed for Code F type of aircraft operations but these will be developed as per
Code 4E type of aircraft operations. The proposed development activities will involve,
in addition to the construction of new 3200 m runway, the parallel taxi track south of
the runway and the taxi lane for the movement of aircraft for push back etc. It also
involves construction of the new ATC Control Tower and associated ATC Block as well
as the New Main Fire station with Static tanks each of 1.5 lac litre capacity, the
boundary wall to cover the additional area merging with the existing airport land, the
perimeter road etc. in the first three years (0 – 3 years).

The following two years will be mandatory for the developer to invest in the
development of the passenger terminal building (Area 56,250 sq m ( 2.5 level
terminal design) for 34.75 Lacs of Dom & Int. Pax together; with design year 2029-30
– presuming starting year as 2015-16 for integrated operations of the international
and domestic traffic along with associated Apron and taxiways as the present
terminal building will get saturated by then and delay can cause severe inconvenience
to travelling public; the cargo terminal (design year 2029-30; International – 1000 Sq
m area and Domestic cargo terminal of 1600 sq m area) with associated apron for
cargo aircraft and the necessary taxiways, etc. Space for the perishable cargo terminal

3.7 Resource optimization / recycling and reuse


The resource optimization is always pre-requisite for any development project. In quest
towards resource optimization in proposed project, the tradition practices are
substituted by modern practices involving water reduction, rain water harvesting,
energy conservation, etc.

As per the NBC, 2016, the per capita water requirement varies with building type.
Measures have been proposed to reduce the consumption of fresh water through
efficient practices and devices. Some of these practices include:

• Regulating flow rate of fixtures used in toilets


• Dual plumbing system
• By installations of sensor-based urinals such as magic eye sensor, the water use
is reduced to 0.4 liters per flush
• A normal tap works at a flow rate as high as 20 lpm. Use of low flow faucets along
with other water saving devices such as auto control valves, pressure reducing
devices, aerators and pressure inhibitors for constant flow, magic eye solenoid
valve and self-operating valves can result in 25 – 50% of water savings.
• Rainwater harvesting for ground water recharge.

MIHAN is following GRIHA (Green Rating for Integrated Habitat Assessment) system for
sustainable and environment friendly design. All the new buildings will be constructed
as per the ECBC (Energy Conservation Building Code) norms and obtain 4 star GRIHA
rating.

Details of Sewage Treatment Plant


CAMUS-SBT® Technology is an advanced version of SBT® technology. It incorporates a
bioconversion process where fundamental reactions of nature namely respiration,
photosynthesis, mineral weathering take place in a media housing micro and macro
organisms which bring about the desired purification. CAMUS Technology is an oxygen
supplying high reaction rate biological engine and so the process can treat all types of
water - domestic, municipal and industrial. CAMUS Technology uses the ecology of soil
media and biological reactions within a constructed bioreactor to treat wastewater. This
is a giant technological leap forward from current technologies which rely on aquatic
ecology for treatment. This technological advance allows us to offer energy efficient
treatment solutions and deliver superior water quality.

VEC’s Soil Bio Technology system encompasses a host of technologies, patents,


trademarks, copyrights and knowhow from many institutions some of which are
mentioned below. Soil Bio Technology SBT covered by multiple Indian Trademarks
assigned to VEC, two US patents (patent no 6890438 B2 dated 5 May 2005 and 7604742
B2 dated 20 October 2009) and 2 Indian patents (patent no - 203744 and 203425) all
assigned to IIT Bombay and licensed to VEC which pertain to the use of geophagus
earthworms in BioMounds. Knowhow designs regards other organisms in the SBT
process is being copyrighted, patented or trademarked as applicable.
The Raw Sewage (Black Water) is received directly by gravity into Raw Sewage Tank
where it is screened and degritted sewage is dosed with the appropriate flocculant and
coagulant inside then allowed via VEC FRP settler system with appropriate baffle
arrangement which allows the finer floc solids to settle. The clear water from the other
side of the FRP settler is pumped to Bio Mound 1 (BM1), where the Clear Black water is
treated in BM1 and collected in the Collection Tank 1. (CT1a).
The Grey water is taken to Fine screen chamber and then received in the Collection
Tank 2 (CT1b). The water from CT1b is pumped to Bio Mound 2 (BM2) where the
treatment takes place and then collected in the Treated Water Tank (TWT) via weep
holes in the bottom in BM2. As the Waste Water percolates downward in the BioMound
it came in contact with the specially selected, graded and formulated CAMUS-SBT Bio

26
PFR for the Expansion of Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar International MIHAN India
Airport, Nagpur. (Maharashtra) Limited (MIL)

Media (enriched with Vision Earth care’s proprietary cultures and catalyst) substantial
reduction of parameters is achieved in BM1 and BM2.
Special Features
CAMUS-SBT is very different from other treatment solutions. Some of these special
features are listed in this section. Unlike other treatment facilities, CAMUS-SBT does not
need expensive pre-treatment, equalization or the very expensive to operate Aerators
or Membrane systems that other options employ often at drastic operating costs to the
Client. As a result in most other technologies operation of effluent treatment facilities is
limited to special occasions. Unlike conventional treatment plants which need
continuous running CAMUS-SBT allows users to operate the plant in intermittent mode,
batch mode and continuous mode as the situation arises. Typically CAMUS-SBT plants
are easily able to handle shock load of about 50% over or under design load for a few
days automatically.
Low Maintenance:
Apart from easily replaceable pumps specified there are no other moving parts in the
CAMUS-SBT plant. In case of mechanical failure of pumps all the operators have to do is
to replace the broken down unit with a similar unit from the market and restart the
process.
High Aesthetics:
The CAMUS-SBT plant is generally adorned with specially selected plants to give it a
garden like appearance. The garden is not essential but most of our clients and perhaps
even you have opted for greenery. There is however a secondary function to the plants:
They behave as bio-indicators to the health of the entire process. Toxic waste entering
the process will have a detrimental effect to the health of the plants and corrective
action can be immediately initiated.
Low Depreciation:
Since the plant contains very little mechanical equipment apart from the pumps and the
civil works themselves depreciate over larger time scales (~30 years). There are
considerable financial benefits to the agency.

27
PFR for the Expansion of Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar International MIHAN India
Airport, Nagpur. (Maharashtra) Limited (MIL)

Low Operating Cost:


As mentioned earlier since there are no special machines apart from the process pumps.
Therefore the operating power requirements are very minimal and operators.
themselves need minimal training to operate the plant. At its simplest the plant is
operated by turning it on when there is adequate water in the influent tank and turning
it off as soon as there is enough water in the final storage tank. One person to
periodically maintain the top bed to prevent water logging at the top of the bed is
required.

Low Sludge:
Most other technologies require you to ship the sludge generated to a disposal station
such as a land fill at significant cost not to mention much hassle. CAMUS-SBT avoids
sludge generation and treats all of it within the process itself. However a provision for a
biofertilizer from the process can be arranged should the customer need such a facility
for other landscaping use.

No Odor:
Conventional treatment plants create a very bad working environment with many
noxious fumes. They therefore have to be sited far away from living and working spaces.
CAMUS-SBT is completely odorless and the output water is not conducive to disease
causing insects such as mosquitoes and flies.

Superior Water Quality:


In most CAMUS-SBT plants treating normal sewage, the output water is exceptional.
With proper final polishing with chlorine for disinfection where required it is near
drinking water standards. Only cultural inhibitions prohibit drinking and should the
customer desire it we offer such solutions also.
The effluent of the STP using the CAMIS-SBT technology meets the standards for release
in inland water bodies. The typical parameters of outlet quality of water are presented
in the table given below. While the BOD is less than 10 mg/l, the COD level attained is
less than 30 mg/l. All other parameters also conform to the specifications.

3.9.2 Solid Waste Generation and Disposal


About 1050 kg per day solid waste will be generated during operation after the
proposed development activities at Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar International Airport,
which will be collected, segregated and managed by external agency for disposal as per
Solid Waste Management Rules, 2016. Hence, the impact on the soil will be insignificant
as an organized solid waste collection and disposal practices exist at the Dr. Babasaheb
Ambedkar International Airport. Some of the mitigation measures adopted are as
follows.
• Municipal solid waste collection bins will be placed at strategic locations in the
terminal building;
• Approx. 1000 kg per day municipal wastes, like, plastic, paper, packing waste,
bottles, oil contaminated cottons and clothes, food waste from labour camp, etc
will also be generated from Airport premises and Aircraft. It may contaminate
soil of the site, if not disposed properly. These wastes will be segregated and
disposed as per Solid Waste Management Rules, 2016.
• Agency has been hired for disposal of solid wastes as per the provisions of the
Solid Waste Management Rule, 2016
• Solid waste generated from the airport is transported in close containers;

29
PFR for the Expansion of Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar International MIHAN India
Airport, Nagpur. (Maharashtra) Limited (MIL)

• Used lubricating waste oil and oil contaminated clothes etc is collected
separately in containers and is sold to authorized recyclers as per CPCB/State
Pollution Control Board guidelines.

public use after development of the proposed project. Distance from various sensitive
locations like forests, national park, wild life sanctuary, eco sensitive areas, water bodies
including CRZ with its distance and direction has already been provided.

4.5 Existing infrastructure


Existing airport is located in Public & Semi-public categorized zone. The water
requirement is being met through existing bore wells and MIL will obtain water from
MADC. Adequate power is being sourced from by MADC and additional power is also
available in the region to manage the expansion proposal. As the site is located on a
Highway connecting Nagpur and Dhantoli (NH 44), all sort of constriction and other
materials can be easily transported for the development works. All sort of supply as well
as supporting industries are also available in the region to support the growth of this
project.

Availability of amenities like education, medical, water supply, communication, road


network, electricity, etc. significantly reflects the level of development of an area.

4.6 Soil Classification


Soil is usually differentiated into horizons of mineral and organic constituents of
variable depth, which differ from the parent material below in morphology, physical
properties and constituents, chemical properties and composition and biological
characteristics. The district is covered by Black Cotton soil in the west with isolated red
soil patches in high ground. Alluvial soil is restricted to river flood plain and coastal
part. Alkaline and saline soils are also noticed at places.

33
PFR for the Expansion of Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar International MIHAN India
Airport, Nagpur. (Maharashtra) Limited (MIL)

4.7 Climate data


Nagpur lies at 316 - 320 meters above mean sea level and the climatic condition of this
area is classified as tropical. The underlying rock strata are covered with alluvial
deposits resulting from the flood plain of the Kanhan River. In some places, these give
rise to granular sandy soil. In low-lying areas, which are poorly drained, the soil is
alluvial clay with poor permeability characteristics. In the eastern part of the city,
crystalline metamorphic rocks such as gneiss, schist and granites are found, while in the
northern part yellowish sandstones and clays of the lower Gondwana formations are
found. Nagpur registers the maximum temperature of 47.9 °C and the minimum
temperature of 3.5 °C. It receives about 163 mm of rainfall in June. The amount of
rainfall is increased in July to 294 mm. Gradual decrease of rainfall has been observed

Drivers/Visitors - 1500

As per current traffic data, the Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar International Airport handled
about 20.78 lakhs No of passengers in the year 2019-20. The airport is expected to
handle 68.92 lakhs passengers by the year 2048.

5.3 Land use planning


Land use has been categorized based on the following functional groups:

Airfield Dependent: Land uses with the highest location and area priority include
those that are fully within the airfield, or overlapping the airside-landside boundary.

Airport Supporting: Land uses with functional priority include those that are required
for the airport to function. Their location may be on the airside or landside but
preferably within the airport boundary.

35
PFR for the Expansion of Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar International MIHAN India
Airport, Nagpur. (Maharashtra) Limited (MIL)

Commercial: Land uses that are fully provide non-aviation revenues. These uses have
flexibility of location but should not interfere with the functional operation of Airfield
Dependent or Airport Supporting Land Uses.

Infrastructure & Open Space: These land use areas are determined by the needs of all
the land uses above. Since supporting infrastructure must be within the development
areas the first three groups determine the area required for this group. Open space
includes those areas remaining which cannot be developed.

The proposed expansion proposal requires about 2138 acres of additional land which is
already handed over by state Govt. For designing of the proposed development
activities National Building Code and ICAO guidelines have been followed.
