Pursuant to the LNTP, L&T has commenced initial engineering, detailed design, planning, procurement preparation, and other related pre-construction activities for the project.

The full Notice to Proceed (NTP) is expected to be issued by the consortium upon fulfilment of the agreed contractual conditions precedent, after which construction activities at the site will commence.

L&T's scope of work includes site grading, road infrastructure, structural works, architectural finishes, MEP services, utilities and the installation of advanced airport systems.

The project has been classified by L&T as Ultra-Mega, a category the company applies to orders valued above USD 1.58 billion under its order classification framework.
