Pinsent Masons has scooped an eye-catching role on one of India's largest-ever transport projects with the national firm advising on the £614m redevelopment of Delhi International Airport.

The UK giant's Dubai arm, which trades as Masons Galadari, is acting for regular client Delhi International Airport (DIA).

The project, which was announced last month, will double the capacity of the existing airport and is a key plank of a long-term programme of investment in India's capital city as it gears up to host the 2010 Commonwealth Games.
