## Description

Half a million tonnes a year in phases one and two, scalable to roughly 3.25 million tonnes once the final phase is complete — that is the design brief for the integrated cargo terminal at Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMI/VANM). The airport was inaugurated in October 2025 and began commercial operations in late December 2025, making it the second international airport for the Mumbai metropolitan region. Part of the rationale was operational: Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International (BOM) suspended freighter handling from August 2025 for extensive infrastructure works, pushing all-cargo traffic toward the new site. The project is delivered by the Adani group together with the state agency CIDCO, with reported investment of around USD 2 billion. Multimodal access is a core feature, combining expressways, a metro link and the Atal Setu sea bridge, which shortens trucking times to the industrial belts around Thane and Pune. Customs clearance follows India's standard ICEGATE procedures, and dedicated cool-chain and secure areas are planned for pharmaceuticals, perishables and electronics. Mumbai (BOM) remains the alternative for belly capacity, while Pune (PNQ) and Ahmedabad (AMD) serve regional flows. Because the station is still new, shippers should confirm actual capacity and handling arrangements before booking rather than assuming full terminal availability.
