Navi Mumbai International Airport boosts connectivity across Mumbai, Pune, and MMR with multimodal options

Amid relocation of flight operations and massive slot cuts at Mumbai’s Terminal 1 from October 25, Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA) – operated by Adani Airport Holdings Limited (AAHL) - today announced a slew of multi-modal transport measures to facilitate passengers travelling to the Navi Mumbai airport.

Adani Airports today said Navi Mumbai International Airport will offer affordable multimodal connectivity with buses, taxis, autos and airport shuttles.

“Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA) is expanding its public transport and ground mobility network ahead of the Winter Schedule, which runs from 25 October 2026 to 27 March 2027,” Adani Airports said in a release short while back.

What facilities will be offered for commute to the airport?

“The airport is offering passengers a range of multimodal transport options, including buses, taxis, autorickshaws, car rentals and airport shuttles, with economical choices across Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, Pune and the wider Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR),” the release said.

“The Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation (MSRTC) will commence e-Shivai electric bus services on 7 October 2026. Fares from NMIA will be ₹450 to Pune, ₹210 to Borivali and ₹170 to Dadar East,” the release said.  

“Children below 12 years of age and women travelling with a National Common Mobility Card will be eligible for half-fare. Bharat Taxi will start operations with a dedicated fleet of up to 40 vehicles from 10 October. Prepaid taxi and autorickshaw services are also being introduced,” it added.

On what routes will the buses ply?

Sharing the details of the bus services, the release said MSRTC’s first-phase e-Shivai services will connect NMIA with Dadar, Borivali and Pune, with services operating from early morning to late night.

“The Dadar-NMIA route will run via Sion and Atal Setu, while the Borivali-NMIA route will connect CSMIA Terminal 1, Bandra and Atal Setu. The Pune-NMIA route will have two daily services, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Services connecting Thane and Nashik are planned by mid-November,” it added.

“Chalo Bus operates 21 daily services connecting NMIA with Marol in Andheri East, Bandra, Dadar and the World Trade Centre in Colaba. Services run at regular intervals during peak and non-peak periods, with additional capacity being added for peak-hour passenger and employee mobility,” it said.

Hourly shuttle between NMIA and Mumbai airport

Arrangements have also been made for a complimentary inter-airport shuttle to operate hourly between NMIA and Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport, Mumbai.

Operated by Cityflo, Aarya and Chalo, the service will provide a direct transfer option between Mumbai’s two airports, the release said.

“Ground transport capacity across app-based taxis, car rentals, autos and buses is being scaled up to 4,594, comprising 3,787 app-based taxis, 184 car rentals, 171 autos and 547 buses,” it said.

“NMIA is deploying mobility signage, wayfinding systems and on-ground passenger assistance, with dedicated zones for buses, shuttles, arrivals, departures and private vehicles,” it added.
