In a transformative step for India's aviation sector, Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA) on Wednesday. The project marks a significant leap in the nation's infrastructure development and now makes Mumbai one of the rare cities with dual international airports.

Modi emphasized the impact of NMIA on regional economics, foreseeing its potential in establishing Asia's largest connectivity hub. The airport's lotus-like design is a tribute to Indian culture and prosperity, opening avenues for Maharashtra's agrarian sector to reach Europe and the Middle East's markets, he noted.

As part of India's vision for Viksit Bharat 2047, NMIA signifies the country's ascent as a global trade and aviation cornerstone.
