Adani Airport Holdings to Begin Phase-2 Construction at Navi Mumbai Airport Post-Monsoon

-

 


Adani Airport Holdings Ltd (AAHL) has announced that it will begin Phase-2 construction at the Greenfield Navi Mumbai International Airport after the monsoon this year, citing robust demand and rapid scale-up across its expanding airports portfolio.

The announcement comes at a time when India’s aviation sector is witnessing sustained growth in passenger traffic and cargo movement. According to the company’s management, the next phase of development at Navi Mumbai airport is aimed at supporting long-term traffic growth while strengthening Adani Airports’ position as a major aviation infrastructure player in the country.

Strong Demand Driving Expansion Plans



Adani Airport Holdings said the decision to move ahead with Phase-2 construction reflects the strong demand outlook across its airports network. With India emerging as one of the world’s fastest-growing aviation markets, the company expects passenger and cargo volumes to scale up significantly in the coming years.

The Navi Mumbai International Airport, a key greenfield project, is strategically positioned to ease congestion at Mumbai’s existing airport and serve as a critical aviation hub for the Mumbai Metropolitan Region. Phase-2 construction is expected to further enhance the airport’s capacity, infrastructure, and operational efficiency.

Navi Mumbai Airport Commissioned, Guwahati Terminal Integrated

During the quarter under review, Adani Airports commissioned the Navi Mumbai International Airport and also integrated a new terminal at Guwahati, marking important milestones in its expansion journey.

These developments have strengthened the company’s national aviation footprint, allowing it to cater to rising air travel demand across both metro and regional markets. The integration of modern terminals and greenfield infrastructure aligns with the company’s focus on improving passenger experience and operational scalability.

Significant Share in India’s Aviation Market

Adani Airports currently accounts for around 23 per cent of India’s total passenger traffic and approximately 29 per cent of the country’s air cargo volumes, highlighting its growing dominance in the aviation infrastructure space.

The airports business has registered over 30 per cent growth, according to management, driven by a combination of traffic recovery, cargo expansion, and capacity enhancements across multiple locations.

This scale gives the company a strong platform to leverage synergies across airports while investing in future-ready infrastructure to support India’s aviation ambitions.

Steady Operational Performance in Q3

Operational performance remained steady during the third quarter, with Adani Airports handling 24.7 million passengers, marginally higher than 24.6 million passengers in the same period last year.

Cargo operations showed stronger momentum, with volumes increasing to 3.1 lakh metric tonnes, compared to 2.7 lakh metric tonnes a year ago. The rise in air freight volumes reflects continued strength in logistics, e-commerce, and time-sensitive cargo movement, areas that are expected to grow further.

Capital Expenditure Progress for FY26

The company also provided an update on its capital expenditure plans. Of the ₹36,000 crore capex outlined for FY26, Adani Airports has already incurred ₹25,200 crore by the end of the third quarter.

These investments are being directed towards airport development, terminal expansion, technology upgrades, and capacity enhancement projects across its network. Phase-2 construction at Navi Mumbai airport will be a key component of this broader capital investment strategy.

Looking Ahead

With Phase-2 construction at Navi Mumbai International Airport scheduled to begin post-monsoon, Adani Airport Holdings is positioning itself to meet future demand while supporting India’s growing aviation ecosystem.

As passenger traffic and cargo volumes continue to rise, the company’s focus on timely execution, large-scale infrastructure development, and operational efficiency is expected to play a crucial role in shaping the next phase of growth in the country’s airport sector.
