About Navi Mumbai International Airport
The mega project is a landmark Rs 19,650 crore greenfield infrastructure, poised to transform the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) into a global multi-airport city. The new facility is set to majorly ease congestion at the existing Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSMIA) and usher in a new era for India's aviation sector.
The Navi Mumbai International Airport is India's first fully digital airport, designed to be fully DigiYatra-enabled and supported by automated, AI-enabled terminal systems for a seamless, paperless experience.
Designed by a London-based architectural firm by late Zaha Hadid, the terminal building features a unique and modern lotus-inspired architectural design floating lotus, inspired by India's national flower.
Operations at the state-of-the-art airport are scheduled to begin in December 2025. The airport features four gates and three terminals, Alpha, Bravo, and Charlie, that handle all international and domestic passengers. It also offers 88 check-in counters, including both staffed and self-service options.
