Mumbai International Airport Limited (MIAL) has proposed a revision in the tariff structure to the Airport Economic Regulatory Authority (AERA) for the first time since 2021, aiming to enhance critical infrastructure and improve passenger experience.
As the operator of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSMIA) and a subsidiary of Adani Airport Holdings Limited (AAHL), MIAL has suggested a user development fee (UDF) of Rs 325 for departing domestic passengers and Rs 650 for international travellers.
The proposed revision aims to support infrastructure expansion and technological advancements at the airport.
Over the next five years, MIAL plans to invest Rs 10,000 crore in airport infrastructure, with an expected recovery of Rs 7,600 crore from 229 million passengers.
The new tariff structure seeks to rebalance revenue sources by increasing UDF while reducing landing and parking charges by 35%.
The proposal aligns with tariff structures at other major Indian airports, ensuring revenue stability and enhancing CSMIA’s appeal as a key aviation hub.
Currently, the airport’s yield per passenger (YPP) stands at Rs 285, and MIAL aims to revise it to Rs 332, reflecting an 18% increase, in line with AERA’s consultation paper released on 10 March 2025.
Despite not levying a domestic UDF previously, MIAL has implemented several improvements, including transitioning 54 conventional vehicles to EVs, adding 47 new EVs, and planning 60 more.
The airport has also undertaken runway maintenance, including resurfacing of the secondary runway (14/32) in 2024 and runway 09/27 in 2020, along with introducing a Vertical Axis Wind Turbine & Solar PV System.
MIAL remains committed to enhancing passenger convenience and operational efficiency.
Key developments include a domestic-to-domestic transfer facility at Terminal 2, Taxiway Z to improve on-time performance, eGates to ease terminal entry congestion, inter-terminal coach transfers, and FASTag-enabled parking.
To create a next-generation airport experience, CSMIA is driving projects such as Terminal 1 redevelopment, capacity expansion, digitalization, airside enhancements, smart passenger technology, and sustainability initiatives.
