Navi Mumbai airport to operate alongside Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport 

The project is being led by Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIAL), a joint venture between Adani Group’s Mumbai International Airport (MIAL) and CIDCO. Once completed, the Navi Mumbai airport will operate alongside Mumbai’s existing Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSMIA), creating a dual-airport system for the city.

Passengers to pay up to Rs 1,225 as user fee at Navi Mumbai airport

Business Standards reports that the Airports Economic Regulatory Authority (AERA) approved an ad hoc tariff for the airport on June 20, including a user development fee (UDF) of Rs 620 for departing domestic passengers and Rs 1,225 for departing international passengers. Arriving passengers will pay Rs 270 (domestic) and Rs 525 (international).

These charges will be applicable from the airport’s expected commercial opening in August 2025 until March 31, 2026, or until regular tariffs are finalised. AERA also approved aircraft landing charges of Rs 1,400 per metric tonne for domestic flights and Rs 1,850 for international flights, reports Business Standard.

AERA said this interim tariff was necessary to “avoid regulatory vacuum at the major airport,” as the regular tariff process involves a detailed review and stakeholder consultation.
