The Union civil aviation ministry will
soon decide on the date for opening the technical bids and start evaluation.
Only those technical bids that surpass a "certain stage" will see
their financial bids being opened. Technical evaluation is expected to take a
month, while financial evaluation will be faster.
The government has maintained that the
process of selection of the final consortium for both the airports will be done
by end-December 2005.
