MUMBAI-<\/strong> Adani Group plans to demolish Mumbai Airport’s (BOM)<\/a> Terminal 1 (T1) next year and make a new one a few months following the operational commencement of the Navi Mumbai Airport in March 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Adani Ports Managing Director Karan Adani, construction work on a new terminal will begin, and it is anticipated that T1 will be replaced within approximately three years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, Adani <\/a>mentioned that there are plans to connect Terminal 2 (T2) and the proposed new T1 through an underground tunnel, aiming to streamline passenger movement. The decision to demolish T1 is attributed to its current structural and safety issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We are collaborating with airlines on the successor of T1. Our plan is to synchronize the work on T1 with the operational commencement of Navi Mumbai airport to minimize the impact on flyer capacity. Once Navi Mumbai is operational, capacity can be transitioned there,” explained Karan Adani.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the interim period until the new T1 is ready, the capacity of T2 is expected to increase to 4.4 CPA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The decision to demolish Mumbai Airport’s T1 next year is attributed to structural and safety concerns, as announced by the Adani Group. This action will be carried out once the Navi Mumbai airport<\/a> becomes operational.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport handles approximately 5.1 crore passengers annually (CPA), with T2 managing 4 CPA and T1 accommodating the remaining 1.1 CPA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adani Airports aims to temporarily eliminate T1 from the system\u2014starting from its demolition until the completion of the new terminal\u2014by enhancing the capacity of CSMIA T2 to 4.4 CPA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Navi Mumbai Airport is set to open with an initial capacity of 2 CPA, resulting in the distribution of T1’s capacity between T2 and Navi Mumbai. Details regarding the cost, capacity, and design of the new T1 are currently in the finalization stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CSMIA comprises two terminals, namely T1 and T2. T1 consists of T1A, B, and C buildings constructed over the past 50 years, with 1B built in 1965, 1A in 1992, and 1C in 2010. A structural audit conducted in August 2017 for T1B revealed various defects, prompting considerations for reconstruction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Four years ago, before Adani acquired Mumbai International Airport Ltd (MIAL), the GVK-operated MIAL had outlined plans to reconstruct T1B in three phases, as per a proposal submitted to the Airports Economic Regulatory Authority (AERA) at that time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
