The work also includes cut / fill and grading earthwork, as well as the construction of perimeter and other roads, a drainage system, related retaining structures, a fire station and a fire pit.

The company, which is engaged in the business of infrastructure facilities on an EPC basis, will supply, install, test and commission an airfield ground lighting system.

The existing airport at Rajkot is land constrained, with an area of 236 acres. It also suffers from considerable capacity restraints due to nearby residential and commercial buildings.

The railway line and state highway located to the eastern side of the airport prohibits a runway extension.
