Gautam Adani, Chairman of the Adani Group, has praised the collective efforts behind the construction of Mumbai’s new airport, the Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA). The airport is set to be inaugurated on October 8 by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Adani took to social media to express his gratitude to the thousands of workers, engineers, and staff who have worked tirelessly to bring the project to life.

Adani’s son, Jeet Adani, Director of Airports at the Adani Group, had earlier shared a post highlighting the operational readiness of the airport and the efforts of the teams involved. Gautam Adani responded to the post, saying, “To every hand that worked and every heart that cared, this is your creation.” He also visited the airport site, where he inspected the final preparations and met with the people who have worked on the project, including construction workers, engineers, and differently-abled staff.

The NMIA is designed to handle 90 million passengers annually and is one of the largest airports in the world. Adani has emphasized the importance of teamwork and dedication in bringing the project to fruition. He has also highlighted the airport’s commitment to inclusion and opportunity, symbolized by the employment of differently-abled staff at one of the terminal’s retail outlets.

The inauguration of the NMIA is expected to ease congestion in Mumbai and catalyze economic growth. The airport will serve as a gateway to the future and is a testament to the spirit of Bharat, built by its people, for its people. Adani has reflected on the visit, saying, “Every runway, every terminal, every gate here carries the imprint of thousands of hands and hearts. This is more than an airport, it is a monument to the spirit of Bharat, built by its people, for its people.”

With the final touches now underway, the NMIA is ready to open its doors to the public. The airport’s inauguration is a significant milestone for the Adani Group and the city of Mumbai, and is expected to have a major impact on the region’s economy and infrastructure. Gautam Adani’s personal involvement in the project and his appreciation for the workers and staff who have worked on it have been widely praised, and reflect the company’s commitment to teamwork, dedication, and social responsibility.
