b. Ladakh
c. Bundelkhand
d. Telangana
ANSWER: National Capital
The proposal, cleared by the Ministry, would soon be sent to the Cabinet for its approval. For the new project, the Government would be required to amend certain regulations as existing rules do not allow a second airport within a 150 kilometer radius of an existing one, unless the latter is functioning beyond its operational capacity. GMR Group, which operates the Indira Gandhi International Airport Ltd in New Delhi, would be preferred for developing the proposed airport.
