Navi Mumbai Airport pioneers multi-modal hub set to transform air travel

The Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA) is poised to revolutionise air travel in India, marking the country's inaugural airport with multi-modal connectivity. Scheduled to commence commercial operations by March 31, 2025, the strategically located airport in the Raigad district is a pivotal initiative spearheaded by the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA). Valued at eighteen thousand crores, the project aims to address congestion at the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport in Mumbai.

Under the visionary leadership of Minister for Civil Aviation, Jyotiraditya Scindia, a thorough review of the NMIA project underscores its national significance. The airport is meticulously designed for seamless connectivity, encompassing rail, road, metro, and future waterways. Aligned with the Prime Minister's Gati Shakti Yojana, the emphasis on multi-modal connectivity positions it as a critical component of India's transportation infrastructure.

Constructed in five phases, NMIA will boast over 67 General Aviation aircraft stands, establishing itself as India's largest planned General Aviation facility. The interconnected terminals will facilitate efficient hub operations both airside and landside. In its inaugural year, NMIA is anticipated to augment passenger capacity by 20 million annually, with a substantial increase to 90 million passengers per annum upon the completion of the final phase.

Demonstrating a commitment to environmental sustainability, NMIA aspires to be India's first airport with automated passenger movement within its 1600 hectares, ensuring a 100% green airport in the initial phase. This initiative aligns with the government's vision to double domestic passenger traffic and establish over 200 airports in the next six years.

The comprehensive connectivity plans include road connections through NH 4B (348) and the Sion Panvel Highway, rail connectivity via the Targhar Railway station, and efficient metro connectivity through multiple metro lines. While the initial ambitious deadline was set for December 31, 2024, Minister Scindia has acknowledged the realistic target of March 31, 2025, expressing optimism for potential early completion.
