The upcoming Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA) is set to introduce a dedicated VVIP terminal, catering exclusively to high-profile personalities, including top government officials, business tycoons, and film celebrities. This exclusive terminal will be developed as part of the airport’s third phase of expansion, scheduled for completion by 2030, according to official documents.

A New Standard for High-Profile Travel The VVIP terminal, which will begin construction in FY 2026, is expected to enhance privacy and security for its distinguished users. It will serve:

Central and state government officials Governors and chief ministers Defence personnel and top bureaucrats Film stars and business magnates Family members of the airport’s promoters Additionally, the terminal will accommodate general aviation operations, ensuring a seamless travel experience for private jet flyers.

A First for Mumbai’s Aviation Infrastructure Unlike Mumbai’s existing airport, which lacks a dedicated VVIP facility, NMIA’s exclusive terminal will set a new benchmark in Indian aviation. The airport is being developed by Navi Mumbai International Airport Ltd (NMIAL), a joint venture between Adani Airport Holdings Ltd (AAHL) and the City and Industrial Development Corporation of Maharashtra (CIDCO).

While NMIAL has not yet responded to inquiries regarding this development, sources confirm that the first phase of NMIA is expected to be operational after May 15, 2025.
