The broader expansion plan envisions four terminals in total, ultimately serving up to 90 million passengers per year once all phases are complete. When combined with the current capacity of the Mumbai airport, the total throughput for the region could reach around 140 million passengers annually, elevating Mumbai’s aviation status globally.Projects Today+1
