NAVI MUMBAI-<\/strong> The Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMI)<\/a> is entering its next major development stage, with Adani Group planning a $3.4 billion investment for its third phase expansion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The airport, located in Navi Mumbai (BOM), is expected to significantly boost air travel capacity in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first and second phases covering Terminal 1, the initial runway, and a cargo terminal have already seen a $2.2 billion (\u20b920,000 crore) investment and will be inaugurated in September this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Airlines such as IndiGo (6E)<\/a> and Akasa Air (QP)<\/a> have confirmed operations from the new facility once it opens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Navi Mumbai Airport Phase 3 Expansion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Phase 3 of Navi Mumbai International Airport will focus on building Terminal 2, a second runway, automated people movers (APMs), and metro connectivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They will begin construction within the next six to nine months and will complete it in approximately three and a half years. The project aims for completion by mid-2029, aligning with the opening of Terminal 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once operational, Terminal 2 will help expand the airport\u2019s passenger handling capacity from 20 million passengers per annum (MPPA) in the initial phase to 50 MPPA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The design phase is already underway, with Adani Airport Holdings Ltd (AAHL)<\/a> confirming a budget of $3.4 billion (\u20b930,000 crore) for this expansion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first phase will feature a state-of-the-art cargo terminal, scheduled for operations in 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When they complete all 5 phases of the airport, the facility will have two runways, four terminals, and the ability to handle 90 million passengers per annum, making it one of India\u2019s largest aviation hubs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA)<\/a> has already conducted initial inspections for the aerodrome licence, with final approval expected by the end of this month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alongside IndiGo and Akasa Air, discussions with other domestic and international carriers are in advanced stages, ensuring strong connectivity once operations commence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Navi Mumbai International Airport will act as a secondary hub to decongest Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (BOM).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, Mumbai\u2019s main airport operates with a single crossing runway and two terminals, limiting expansion potential. The new facility will balance passenger loads and support future traffic growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Future Vision<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Upon completion, Navi Mumbai (NMI) will transform into a mega aviation hub, supporting 90 million passengers annually and integrating city-side infrastructure like hotels, offices, and retail, with AAHL targeting 70% non-aeronautical revenue by 2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The airport\u2019s strategic location and phased expansion align with India\u2019s goal to become the world\u2019s third-largest aviation market by 2030, fostering economic growth and job creation in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
