PORVORIM: Chief Minister Pramod Sawant today said that the government’s share of 36.99% of the gross revenue from the Manohar International Airport will be payable with effect from December 7, 2024, instead of May 2024.
Chief Minister Pramod Sawant was addressing the media after chairing the State cabinet meeting.
“The government’s share of 36.99% of the gross revenue from the Manohar International Airport will be payable with effect from December 7, 2024, instead of May 2024,” said Sawant.
Sawant further said that taking into consideration the 6 months of the COVID pandemic, the concessional agreement date stands revised for revenue sharing.
He said, that before this, a two-year delay was caused as a result of a petition filed in the Supreme Court that had an overall impact on the construction of the airport and also commencement.
As per the Concession Agreement entered between the government and the GMR Goa International Airport Ltd (GGIAL), Goa, the government’s share of 36.99% of the gross revenue from the Manohar International Airport will be payable with effect from May 31, 2024, the House was told in a written reply by the Chief Minister.
Goa Forward Party (GFP) Chief and Fatorda MLA Vijai Sardesai has yesterday alleged that the state government is planning to extend the revenue holiday period to the GMR Goa International Airport Ltd (GGIAL), Mopa, from May 2024 till December 2024, which stands to create a loss of Rs 18 crore a month to the state exchequer.
“Extension of GMR’s revenue holiday period is anti-Goan and it will be challenged,” Vijai had said adding that the state government had assured the House that GMR Mopa Revenue sharing will start from May 2024.
