Mumbai’s CSMIA Awarded Top Level 5 Airport Carbon Accreditation

The recognition confirms operational net-zero for direct emissions, validating a path to tackle Scope 3 by 2050.

Overview

  • CSMIA joins a select group of about 30 airports worldwide, including seven in Asia-Pacific and four in India, at the programme’s highest decarbonisation tier.
  • Direct and purchased-energy emissions have fallen by more than 98% since FY2022, with FY2025 reporting 566.3 tCO2e under Scope 1 and zero under Scope 2.
  • The airport has sourced 100% renewable electricity since August 2022 and cut energy intensity by over 40% through upgrades such as EC fans, LEDs, high‑efficiency HVAC and automation.
  • Ground operations have shifted to electric vehicles, high‑GWP refrigerants are being replaced, and carbon governance was strengthened through an updated ESG policy adopted in May 2025.
  • ACI regional chief Stefano Baronci praised the airport’s leadership, noting alignment with the sector’s 2050 net-zero goal and the growing cluster of Level 5 airports in India.
