Phased redevelopment of Mumbai Airport Terminal 1 is underway, sources say
Mumbai, Maharashtra3 Oct 2026
A major overhaul and modernisation programme for Terminal 1 at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSMIA) in Mumbai is underway, according to aviation industry sources cited by the report. Sources said the work is being structured so that about 91% of total passenger traffic remains unaffected, with some flight operations potentially shifted from T1 to other terminal options; details on closures and timelines were not disclosed.
Why it matters
Redeveloping the ageing T1 is intended to increase terminal capacity and upgrade systems such as baggage handling and inter-terminal connectivity while maintaining most airport operations.
