ISLAMABAD: The government on Monday approved, in principle, the New Gwadar International Airport project at a cost of Rs55.4 billion, about 147% higher than the first revision, and also sanctioned a reduction in the scope of an important Gwadar road scheme.
The decisions were taken by the Central Development Working Party (CDWP) - a body having the mandate to scrutinize and approve development schemes and refer the mega ones for final ratification of the Executive Committee of National Economic Council (Ecnec).

The CDWP took up the New Gwadar International Airport project, which would be built with the help of Pakistan government funds and a Chinese grant of 1.52 billion yuan or Rs34 billion. The total cost of the project is Rs55.4 billion.

The government has also brought back Hassan Dawood Butt to handle affairs in the next CPEC Joint Cooperation Committee (JCC) meeting. JCC is scheduled to meet this month and will take important decisions on the future roadmap of the multibillion-dollar strategic bilateral initiative.
Butt had earlier been the deputy project director of the CPEC support project but moved to Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Board of Investment.
The original Gwadar airport project had been approved at a cost of Rs7.5 billion in 2010 and the revised one was cleared in 2015 at a cost of Rs22.2 billion. The CDWP approved the second revision on Monday with a cost of Rs55.4 billion, higher by Rs33 billion or 147% than the 2015 cost.
A key reason behind the increase in cost was that the new plan was based on a detailed design of the project.
The CDWP directed the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) to review the possibility of c
