Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA) was inaugurated by India’s Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, on October 8. The facility’s developers claim that once it is complete, it will set a new benchmark for India’s aviation infrastructure, positioning Mumbai among leading global air hubs such as Dubai, London and New York.

Developed by a public-private partnership between Mumbai International Airport Limited (MIAL), a subsidiary of Adani Airport Holdings Limited (AAHL) and the City and Industrial Development Corporation (CIDCO), NMIA will complement Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSMIA) as part of a dual-airport system serving the Mumbai Metropolitan Region.

In its first two phases, NMIA will operate with a single runway and terminal (Terminal 1), as well as a dedicated cargo terminal. The airport will then scale to include two parallel runways and four terminals. With an initial capacity of 20 million passengers per annum (mppa), it will eventually expand to 90 million, which will make it one of the largest passenger-handling airports in India.
