Navi Mumbai International Airport (IATA: NMI, ICAO: VANM), is an international airport in Navi Mumbai, Maharashtra. Located in the Ulwe suburb in Raigad district, it is one of two airports in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region, alongside the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport.
Plans for a new airport in the Mumbai metropolitan region was first proposed in November 1997. The Navi Mumbai airport was approved by the Indian government in 2007, and City and Industrial Development Corporation (CIDCO) was appointed by the state government as the nodal agency for implementing the project. The project, estimated to cost ₹167 billion (US$2.0 billion), was planned to be implemented in three phases, with a capacity to handle 90 million passengers and 2.5 million tonnes of cargo per annum by 2032.
GVK Group-led Mumbai International Airport Limited was awarded the project in 2017. After delays due to land acquisition issues, the ground breaking ceremony was held in February 2018. In 2021, Navi Mumbai International Airport Limited, a special-purpose vehicle was established between Adani Airport Holdings and CIDCO for the management of the project. Following pre-developmental work, the construction of the airport started in August 2021, and the construction was carried out by Larsen & Toubro. It was inaugurated on 8 October 2025 by prime minister Narendra Modi, with commercial operations commencing on 25 December 2025.
The airport is equipped with a single 3,700 m (12,100 ft) long runway oriented in a northeast – southwest direction. After the first phase, the airport's single passenger terminal has a capacity to handle 20 million passengers per annum. The terminal buildings feature a lotus-shaped design, which will be complete once the three interconnected terminals are constructed in phases. The cargo terminal, spread over 33,000 m2 (360,000 sq ft) is equipped to handle 0.8 million tonnes of cargo in a year.
