Mopa international airport
The foundation stone of the Mopa international airport, located in north Goa was laid in November 2016.
The airport has been built on the theme of sustainable infrastructure.
It has best-in-class technologies like 3-D Monolithic Precast buildings, and 5G-compatible IT infrastructure.
