MIAL to Modernise Ageing Infrastructure

Mumbai International Airport Limited (MIAL), a subsidiary of Adani Airport Holdings Limited (AAHL), operator of Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSMIA) is taking a strategic step to transform passenger amenities for a harmonious and streamlined experience.

- 

In a proposal placed before the Airport Economic Regulatory Authority (AERA), MIAL has suggested a User Development Fee (UDF) of INR 325 for departing domestic passengers and INR 650 for departing international travellers to enable MIAL to undertake infrastructure development and technological enhancement projects at Mumbai airport.

MIAL's proposal attempts to offset this change and mitigate the impact on passengers by simultaneously reducing airline landing and parking charges by about 35 percent, in order to strike a balance between infrastructure enhancement and sustain world-class airport operations. This reduction is expected to positively impact airfares from Mumbai, enabling airlines to manage costs more efficiently and maintain competitive ticket prices.

The current Yield Per Passenger (YPP) at CSMIA stands at INR 285. The proposal submitted to AERA aims to revise the YPP to approximately Rs 332, representing an 18% increase, in line with Consultation Paper issued by AERA on 10 March 2025.
