India plans to build a second international airport in the western city of Bombay, the financial capital, that can handle at least 40 million passengers a year -- nearly four times the traffic the city's existing airport handles, an official said Wednesday.

India is seeking to improve its airport infrastructure at an estimated cost of 400 billion rupees (US$8.7 billion, euro7.38 billion) over the next five years to match the 25 percent annual growth in air travel, from a low base of 17 million passengers a year at present.
