Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, and Adani Group’s Jeet Adani visited the Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA) today to inspect the ongoing construction.
During their visit, Fadnavis and Shinde chaired a high-level meeting with senior officials to assess the progress of the project.
“We came to review the progress of Navi Mumbai International Airport today. 94% of the work has been completed. It will be the most modern airport in the country,” said Chief Minister Fadnavis.
NMIA to redefine air travel in India
NMIA will become India’s premier international aviation hub.
Equipped with state-of-the-art facilities, the airport will offer a world-class passenger experience and seamless connectivity.
With its strategic location and cutting-edge infrastructure, NMIA will significantly enhance India’s global air travel network, according to an official statement.
The Navi Mumbai airport project will be developed in multiple phases. In its initial phase, NMIA will handle 20 million passengers and 0.5 million metric tonnes (MMT) of cargo per year.
Upon full completion, the airport will have the capacity to manage over 90 million passengers and 3.2 MMT of cargo annually.
The airport will feature a 3,700-metre-long runway, capable of accommodating large commercial aircraft.
This modern infrastructure will position NMIA among the leading airports globally.
Adani Group at the helm
Adani Airport Holdings Limited, a 100% subsidiary of Adani Enterprises Ltd., is spearheading the development of NMIA.
Incorporated in 2019, the company is part of the Adani Group’s broader vision to transform India’s airport infrastructure.
With nearly all construction nearing completion, the Navi Mumbai International Airport is on track to become operational soon.
The new airport will significantly ease air traffic from Mumbai’s existing airport and boost the region’s economy and connectivity.
