Modi Inaugurates Navi Mumbai International Airport, Creating a Second Gateway for the City

The greenfield hub opens with 20‑million annual capacity under an AdaniCIDCO partnership.

Overview

  • Mumbai’s new airport is designed to operate alongside Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport as a twin-airport system for the region.
  • Developed via a public–private partnership between Adani’s Mumbai International Airport Limited and CIDCO, the project is positioned as a flagship infrastructure effort.
  • Phase 1 starts with one runway and a terminal sized for 20 million passengers per year, with plans to scale to 90 million across four runways and multiple terminals.
  • The site is planned as a multimodal hub linked to the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link, metro lines, suburban rail and proposed waterways to cut travel times and boost connectivity.
  • Facilities include a dedicated cargo terminal with advanced handling for perishables and express shipments, which officials say will speed exports for farmers and fisherfolk.
