Exciting news for travelers from Pune and the Mumbai Metropolitan Region!

Located in the Ulwe suburb of Raigad District, this cutting-edge airport is revolutionizing travel accessibility for the region.

This comprehensive guide walks you through everything you need to know about Navi Mumbai International Airport and how to book your perfect airport ride.
What Makes Navi Mumbai International Airport Special?
A Game-Changing Infrastructure Project
The Navi Mumbai International Airport represents a ₹167 billion ($2 billion) investment in India's aviation infrastructure. Managed by Navi Mumbai International Airport Limited (NMIAL)—a joint venture between Adani Airport Holdings and CIDCO—this greenfield airport was designed to relieve congestion at Mumbai's existing airport while setting new standards for passenger experience.
Key Facts About NMI:
Single runway: 3,700 meters long, equipped with Category II Instrument Landing System
Passenger capacity (Phase 1): 20 million passengers annually
Future expansion: 60-65 million (Phase 2) and 90 million passengers (Phase 3 by 2032)
Cargo facilities: 33,000 m² domestic cargo terminal + 23,700 m² international cargo terminal
Design inspiration: Lotus-shaped terminal buildings reflecting India's architectural heritage
Strategic Location Advantage for Pune Travelers
What sets Navi Mumbai International Airport apart for Pune travelers is its geographical positioning. Located approximately 50 kilometers from Navi Mumbai versus the existing 180+ kilometer journey to Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport, the new airport cuts your airport commute time dramatically.
Time Savings Comparison:
To Navi Mumbai International Airport: ~1 hour from Pune
To Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport: 2.5-3 hours from Pune
This 30-60 minute saving translates into reduced travel stress, lower fuel costs, and earlier arrival times—critical factors for business travelers and families with young children.
