The Government of the Philippines has handed out its latest tender in an ongoing expansion project after a consortium put in the most competitive bid.
DEAL: GMR Infrastructure in partnership with Megawide Construction Corporation is also developing Mactan Cebu International Airport (MCIA) in Philippines
An Indian airport infrastructure company and a Philippine building firm have together won a bid to construct a new terminal at Clark International Airport in the Philippines.
GMR Group, the operators of Indira Gandhi International Airport in New Delhi, and Megawide Construction Corporation, a construction firm behind high-rise condominiums and hotels in the Philippines were awarded the tender by the Government of the Philippines.
Clark Airport is being developed through a hybrid model with engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) tenders being issued separately from operations and management (O&M).
