Cabinet approves proposal for leasing out three airports - Jaipur, Guwahati and Thiruvananthapuram - of Airports Authority of India through Public Private Partnership
Posted On:
19 AUG 2020 4:31PM by PIB Delhi
The Union Cabinetchaired by the Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi
has approvedthe proposal for leasing out three airports namely Jaipur,
Guwahati and Thiruvananthapuram airports of Airports Authority of India
(AAI) through Public Private Partnership (PPP).
The
Union Cabinet accorded its approval for leasing of three AAI airports
namely, Jaipur, Guwahati and Thiruvananthapuram for Operation,
Management and Development to M/s Adani Enterprises Ltd, who is declared
as the successful bidder in a Global Competitive Bidding conducted by
the Airports Authority of India, for a period of fifty years.
These
projects will bring efficiency in service delivery, expertise,
enterprise and professionalism apart from harnessing the needed
investments in the public sector.
Background:
Government
had leased out the Airports Authority of India's airports at Delhi and
Mumbai on Public Private Partnership for Operation, Management and
Development about a decade ago.
While
these PPP experiments have helped create world class airports and
helped in delivery of efficient and quality services to the airport
passengers, it has also helped AAI in enhancing its revenues and
focusing on developing airports and Air Navigation infrastructure in the
rest of the country. Revenue received by AAI from PPP partners enabled
AAI to create infrastructure facilities in Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities and
also to upgrade their airports to international standards. The PPP
airports in India are consistently ranked among the top 5 in their
respective categories by the Airports Council International (ACI) in
terms of Airport Service Quality (ASQ).
Therefore,
Government decided to lease out more airports of AAI for Operation,
Management and Development under PPP through Public Private Partnership
Appraisal Committee (PPPAC). Government also constituted an Empowered
Group of Secretaries (EGoS) to decide on any issue falling beyond the
scope of PPPAC.
PPPAC
approved the transaction documents. The entire bidding process was
carried out under the supervision and directions of EGoS which comprised
of representatives of NITI Aayog, Department of Expenditure and
Department of Economic Affairs (DEA) of Ministry of Finance (MoF).
Airports
Authority of India released Request for Proposal on 14.12.2018 through
global competitive bidding wherein per passenger fee is the bidding
parameter. The technical bids were opened on 16.02.2019 and the
financial bids of the qualified bidders were opened on 25.02.2019/
26.02.2019. M/s Adani Enterprises Ltd. has won all the bids by quoting
highest per passenger fee for all the three airports i.e. Jaipur,
Guwahati and Thiruvanathapuram.
UPU NEWS - Regardless of the pandemic, we have kept working together: an interview with UPU's Julia Bazukina
Published: 8/19/2020
Julia Bazukina joined the UPU in 2006, after working in the Russian Post’s EMS Department since the very first day the postal operator launched the express mail service (EMS).
She learned the ins and outs of EMS while establishing operations and agreements with other Posts, setting up a tracking system and a call center for customers, organizing training for staff – preparing her for her future role with the UPU.“This was a very intense and fruitful time,” she says.
Upon joining the UPU, Bazukina was responsible for performance improvements in North America, the Caribbean, and Europe, later becoming an EMS Customer Service Expert for the EMS Cooperative. Bazukina felt grateful for the opportunity to share her experience with many Posts through preparing workshops, guiding them through performance reports and analysis, and helping them apply this knowledge to their work.
Bazukina now works as an EMS Standards and Measurement Manager. Over the past ten years, her team has been implementing different projects, such as EMS Standards and Procedures, an EMS Standard Agreement, the EMS Operational Guide, and the EMS Audit and Measurement Programme focused on the performance reporting and pay-for-performance accounting. The tools produced by her team facilitate the cooperation between postal operators exchanging EMS items.
“When EMS Cooperative members reach out to us and we can help them, it makes our work meaningful. I like this part of my job a lot, it is interesting and fulfilling.”
One of Bazukina’s recent projects has been the development of a modern EMS Operational Guide and an EMS Simple Monitoring and Reporting Tool (EMS SMART). It has been challenging to prepare specifications and requirements for such a complex reporting system based on tracking data, and to find individual solutions for EMS Cooperative members with different operational requirements. Now complete, EMS SMART gives EMS Cooperative members their own tailor-made reporting tool.
“It has been a tough couple of years, but they have been so rewarding. Members’ feedback means a lot to me,” says Bazukina.
Bazukina’s work also brings high responsibility. It has a financial impact on the postal operators who rely on the performance reports that her team regularly produces. She often feels under pressure, meeting strict deadlines and handling extraordinary situations and force majeure cases. Therefore, in her opinion, good teamwork is crucial, especially in an intercultural environment.
“I feel privileged to work with such intelligent people. In the UPU, everyone comes from a different cultural background and has an individual approach. However, when we work together on a project, it all comes together like a puzzle,” she says.
She also looks up to her teammates: “I got to know some outstanding, inspiring women that were combining intensive work with motherhood, which I learned was really challenging when I became a mother myself.”
Although the COVID-19 crisis has put pressure on the entire postal network and has created new challenges at the UPU, Bazukina says it has brought her team even closer together.
“Regardless of the pandemic, we have kept working together, and the postal world has become closer while overcoming its hardships. I am proud to be working for the UPU, helping to make the impossible possible, helping to unite the world.”
