The much-awaited Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA) is set to be inaugurated on October 8, announced Gautam Adani, Chairman of the Adani Group. The airport, which recently secured its aerodrome licence from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), marks a major milestone in India’s aviation infrastructure.

Being developed in multiple phases, the project is implemented by Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIAL), a joint venture between Adani Group, holding a 74 per cent stake, and the City and Industrial Development Corporation of Maharashtra (CIDCO), which holds the remaining 26 per cent.

Ahead of the inauguration, Gautam Adani shared a post on X, expressing gratitude to those who contributed to the project’s realisation. “Ahead of the inauguration of Navi Mumbai International Airport on 8 Oct, I met with our differently-abled colleagues, construction workers, women staff, engineers, artisans, firefighters, and guards who helped bring this vision to life,” he said.

“I felt the pulse of a living wonder — a monument shaped by thousands of hands and hearts. When millions of flights take to the skies and billions walk through these halls, the spirit of these people will echo through every takeoff and every step — and to them, I offer my deepest gratitude,” he added.

Once fully operational, NMIA — designated with the airport code ‘NMI’ — will be the second airport in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region. Developed in five phases, the airport is designed to handle up to 90 million passengers and 3.2 million metric tonnes of cargo annually, positioning it among Asia’s largest aviation hubs.

According to the Ministry of Civil Aviation, India currently has 162 operational airports across the country.
