Mumbai: Gautam Adani Inspects Navi Mumbai International Airport Ahead of October 8 Inauguration
Mumbai: Ahead of the inauguration of the greenfield Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA) on October 8, Adani Group Chairman Gautam Adani conducted a detailed inspection of the airport on Wednesday. The airport is set to be inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
During his visit, Gautam Adani walked through the final preparations of NMIA, which, once fully operational, will handle 90 million passengers annually, making it one of the largest airports in the world.
In a social media post, he wrote:
“Ahead of the inauguration of Navi Mumbai International Airport on 8 Oct, I met with our differently-abled colleagues, construction workers, women staff, engineers, artisans, firefighters, and guards who helped bring this vision to life. I felt the pulse of a living wonder – a monument shaped by thousands of hands and hearts. When millions of flights take to the skies and billions walk through these halls, the spirit of these people will echo through every takeoff and every step – and to them, I offer my deepest gratitude. Jai Hind.”
Beyond reviewing technical and operational readiness, Adani spent time engaging with the people behind the project. He met construction workers, engineers, project teams, firefighting staff, and differently-abled employees at the terminals, highlighting NMIA’s focus on inclusion, safety, and opportunity.
Reflecting on his visit, he said, “Every runway, every terminal, every gate here carries the imprint of thousands of hands and hearts. This is more than an airport; it is a monument to the spirit of Bharat, built by its people, for its people.”
With final preparations underway, Navi Mumbai International Airport is expected to ease congestion in Mumbai, boost economic growth, and serve as a gateway to the future.
