Navi Mumbai International Airport is Ready to Soar!

Visited and inspected the Navi Mumbai International Airport and chaired a meeting with senior officials to review the detailed progress of the ongoing work.

With 94% work completed, the vision of the next-generation international airport is closer than ever under the leadership of PM Narendra Modi Ji.

Passenger operations are set to begin by September 2025, and with over 13,000 workers on-site, we’re moving full throttle to complete the rest.

What’s taking shape isn’t just an airport — it’s an engine for growth, opportunity, and global connectivity.

In its first two phases, NMIA will be equipped to handle 20 million passengers, 0.8 million metric tonnes of cargo, and feature the world’s fastest baggage claim system — designed to move people and dreams faster than ever.
