The Chairman of Adani Group, Gautam Adani, on Tuesday visited the Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA) to inspect the site and review final preparations ahead of the airport's expected inauguration.
The inauguration is likely to take place on October 8, 2025, sources said.
It is expected to be inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Adani Group and Maharashtra's City and Industrial Development Corporation (CIDCO) are developing the Navi Mumbai Airport.
However the date for its inauguration is yet to officially announced.
Gautam Adani's visit came hours after the NMIA received its aerodrome licence on September 30.
The aerodrome licence is a key approval from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) for the Navi Mumbai Airport, they said.
The licence means the airport has met all the necessary safety and regulatory standards, and is now allowed to begin operations.
Officials said that the licence allows the airport to commence flight operations, although the exact date for the start of commercial flights will be announced soon.
The Navi Mumbai International Airport is expected to help reduce air traffic pressure from the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSMIA) in Mumbai and provide better connectivity for travellers in the region.
