Mumbai, the financial capital of India, is set to become the first Indian city with two international airports by 2024. The new airport, Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA), is currently under construction in Navi Mumbai, a suburb of Mumbai.
The NMIA is being built with an eye on the high air traffic demand in Mumbai. The current Mumbai airport, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSMIA), is already operating at its full capacity. The NMIA is expected to handle up to 60 million passengers per year by 2024.
The NMIA is being built by the Adani Group, one of India’s largest infrastructure companies. The airport is being built at a cost of ₹16,000 crore (US$2.1 billion). The NMIA is expected to create over 100,000 jobs during construction and operation.
NMIA is set to be a major infrastructure project that will boost the economy of Mumbai and Maharashtra. The airport is expected to attract more tourists and businesses to the region. The NMIA will also help to reduce air traffic congestion at the CSMIA.
It is a significant milestone in the development of Mumbai. The airport will help to make Mumbai a more global city and a major hub for trade and commerce.
