Overview
- Mumbai International Airport Ltd issued a public notice on the works, and a site visit by reporters observed demolition activity underway despite no announced timeline.
- The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority granted a demolition no‑objection certificate on September 24, 2025.
- The scope covers the T1A building plus an elevated road, a defunct chiller plant, and a temporary shed near the structure.
- Terminal 1A has been closed to passengers since around 2016 after airline operations moved to Terminal 2 and the reconfigured Terminal 1.
- Officials say the cleared area will support airport expansion, with any broader Terminal 1 teardown sequenced with Navi Mumbai International Airport’s next phase targeted for 2029–30, and current operations remain unaffected.
