City and Industrial Development Corporation (CIDCO), a developer of the Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA) project, will pay construction cost to the project affected persons (PAPs) of the airport project, for rebuilding their homes.

As per the offer given by CIDCO to PAPs, the company will pay the cost of construction to rebuild their homes in accordance with the resettlement and rehabilitation (R&R) policy of CIDCO.

Further, CIDCO is yet to acquire around 500 ha of land for the airport project. Of this, around 15 ha of land falls in gaothan areas, and to relocate them, the company will give them 22.5 per cent developed plot. In addition to this, it will also give them homes and construction cost, as per the current market rate.

The owners whose land falls in gaothan areas, beyond gaothan areas, or beyond 200 mtr of the gaothan but within the airport project, will be given the construction cost.

A minimum 40 sq mtr plot will be given for small houses; the upper limit is yet to be finalised.

Similarly, the R&R policy of the company also has the provision of giving developed land to those whose only land will go to the project, while those who lose their lands as well as houses will be given land in Pushpak Nagar, and houses either in Vadghar or Wahal villages depending on the village where they are currently staying.

Around 1,200 stakeholders of the project will be rehabilitated at Pushpak Nagar while CIDCO will also construct 3,500 houses to relocate people staying in 10 villages of Targhar, Kombadbhuje, Ulwe, Ganeshpuri, Vaghivali-Vada, Upper Owale, Kolhi, Kopar, Chinchpada and Vaghivali.
