Navi Mumbai International Airport: The first phase of Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA), India’s first completely digital and paperless airport, was officially opened by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday. With cutting-edge computerized technologies that guarantee “anxiety-free” flying, the Panvel, Maharashtra airport seeks to relieve traffic at Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport and revolutionize air travel.

The ₹16,700 crore project, which was created by Adani Airports Holdings Limited (AAHL) in partnership with the City and Industrial Development Corporation (CIDCO), is expected to accommodate 20 million passengers a year in its initial phase. When NMIA is completely operational, it will include 42 aircraft stands, three interconnected terminals, and a six-lane road that connects it to the Mumbai-Pune Expressway and the future Mumbai Trans Harbour Link.

The airport offers smooth end-to-end travel by integrating digital boarding procedures, automated baggage handling, and AI-driven facial recognition systems. Additionally, it will have green infrastructure, such as water recycling and solar power generation.

In December 2025, commercial flights are anticipated to start operating, linking Navi Mumbai to important domestic and international locations. It is expected that the new airport would grow into a significant aviation center.
