Summary
The private company managing Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (BOM) has lined up $1 billion in financing that it plans to invest in modernizing the airport.
BOM is India’s second busiest gateway, handling 54.8 million passengers in 2024—a 6.3% increase year-on-year. The modernization plan will include the redevelopment of Terminal 1, with work expected to start later this year.
The phased project will overhaul the terminal to serve domestic operations, with provisions for future international integration. Once complete, Terminal 1 will boost its annual passenger handling capacity by 42% to 20 million. Planned infrastructure upgrades include installation of a district cooling system, electrical substations, and a new baggage handling system. A multi-modal transport hub is also in development, providing direct links to metro and bus stations.
