Adani Seeks Unified Tariff for Mumbai Airports

31 May 2025 CW Team

Adani Airport Holdings Limited has requested the government to treat Mumbai and Navi Mumbai airports as a single entity for tariff determination. The proposal, based on the Airports Economic Regulatory Authority (AERA) Act’s 2021 amendment, seeks parity in passenger and airline charges across both airports.

If accepted, this unified calculation would average out tariffs, making fees at Navi Mumbai airport more competitive. As per reports, higher charges at the newly built Navi Mumbai airport—set to begin operations in July—may discourage airlines from shifting operations.

Both airports are owned by the Adani Group, which believes this move will help drive traffic to Navi Mumbai and balance user development fees, landing, and parking charges.

The AERA Act’s amendment was introduced to encourage private investment by allowing grouping of smaller loss-making airports with profitable ones in the same region. Former Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia had said this step would improve air connectivity in remote areas.

Chairman Gautam Adani recently shared on social media that the Navi Mumbai airport is ready for launch in June and will enhance regional connectivity and growth.
