Mumbai airport goes green, inducts the first batch of 45 EVs

The Mumbai International Airport Ltd (MIAL) announced on Wednesday that the airport has introduced its first batch of 45 electric vehicles (EVs) to replace its current fleet of fossil fuel-powered vehicles.

As part of its Operational Net Zero aim, the airport plans to switch all its combustion-powered vehicles to EVs by 2029, according to MIAL. According to the spokesperson, "moving to electric cars will assist to cut carbon emissions, hence minimising the airport's carbon footprint." The airport is also considering the use of 60 additional electric vehicles (EVs) in the upcoming fiscal year, including ambulances, forward command posts, security, and utility vehicles for airside operations and maintenance. The replacement of the remaining cars will take place in stages. In order to support the operational net zero by 2029 aim, Mumbai Airport additionally intends to work with airport stakeholders to transition to EVS.

The airport recently put 12 DC fast EV charging stations in operation at the airside, P5-MLCP at Terminal 2, and multi-level car parking (MLCP) at Terminal 1. According to MIAL, this project will contribute in decreasing the greenhouse gas emissions brought on by the combustion of fossil fuels for transportation by about 25%.
