The Navi Mumbai International Airport, a greenfield project and the second airport in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region after Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport, is being developed by NMIAL — a special purpose vehicle formed as a 74:26 joint venture between Adani Airport Holdings Ltd (AAHL) and Industrial Development Corporation of Maharashtra (CIDCO).
Prime Minister Narendra Modi laid the foundation stone in February 2018. The airport is being built at an estimated cost of Rs 16,700 crore to ease congestion at the existing Mumbai airport and cater to the rising demand for air travel in India.
Navi Mumbai International Airport with two runways and four terminals will have a capacity to cater to 90 million passengers per annum once all the five phases of the projects are completed.
The first and second phases will have one runway, one terminal building. The subsequent phases 3, 4, and 5 will introduce a second runway, four additional terminals, and an increased passenger capacity of 90 million.
