AAI in 2022 agreed to grant NOC for buildings in 20km radius of airport
In July 2022, the Airports Authority of India (AAI) agreed to grant height No Objection Certificates for buildings located within a 20km radius of the proposed Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA). As per the decision, buildings upto the elevation of 160.10mt above mean sea level (AMSL) will be allowed in the city. According to the developers’ body, the decision has unlocked the vertical development and buildings up to 48-storey can be constructed.
