The Adani Group took over the airport project in 2021. The Adani Group, together with the City and Industrial Development Corporation (CIDCO), formed a special purpose vehicle (SPV) - the Navi Mumbai International Airport Limited (NMIAL), the developing agency of the Navi Mumbai Airport. The airport construction started in August 2021.
The Navi Mumbai Airport will be implemented in five phases. Phases 1 and 2 will begin with one runway, one terminal and a passenger capacity of two crore. Phases 3, 4 and 5 will include the second runway, four terminals and an increased passenger capacity of nine crore.
L&T Construction is responsible for Terminal 1’s construction, which started in November 2022. It includes a 3,700-metre runway, apron systems, taxiway systems and airfield ground lighting. L&T will be responsible for constructing supporting infrastructure, such as parking.
Following the Prime Minister’s vision to create multimodal connectivity under the Gati shakti Yojana, the Navi Mumbai International Airport will have road, rail and metro connectivity. There are plans to provide water connectivity going forward.
The Navi Mumbai Airport will be connected:
By road: In three directions - NH 4B (348), the Sion-Panvel Highway and through the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link.
By rail: The airport will be connected to rail by Targhar Railway Station. The Navi Mumbai Airport may have a station on the 767-km Mumbai-Hyderabad High-Speed Rail (Bullet Train) project.
By metro: Metro connectivity to the airport will be through Mumbai Metro Link 2B (DN Nagar to Mandale-Mankhurd), Mumbai Metro Line 8 (Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport to the Navi Mumbai International Airport) and Navi Mumbai Pendhar-Belapur Metro Line.
By water: Options are being explored to connect the airport through hovercraft from Colaba and through cargo from Raigad in Phase 2 of the Navi Mumbai International Airport.
The Navi Mumbai International Airport has been designed by Zaha Hadid Architects.
The airport will have three interconnected terminal buildings shaped like a lotus.
The terminal buildings will include food courts, lounges, travelators and other facilities for passengers.
With the development of the Navi Mumbai International Airport in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR), Mumbai will be the first city in India to have two operational international airports.
The Navi Mumbai International Airport will be the first airport in the country with automated passenger movement within its 1,600 hectares for 10 km each on the city and air side.
The airport will be an eco-friendly airport. Onsite solar energy will be generated and only electric vehicles will be used here.
By 2032, the Navi Mumbai International Airport will handle 0.25 crore tonne of cargo and over 9 crore passengers.
