Mumbai Airport Proposes New User Fee to Fund ₹10,000 Crore Modernization Plan

MIAL's proposal includes a passenger fee starting June 2025, reduced airline charges, and sustainability-focused upgrades to enhance infrastructure and passenger experience.

• MIAL has proposed a User Development Fee (UDF) of ₹325 for domestic passengers and ₹650 for international passengers, effective on tickets issued from June 1, 2025.
• To offset the impact of the UDF, airline landing and parking charges will be reduced by 35%, aiming to keep ticket prices competitive.
• The ₹10,000 crore investment plan includes Terminal 1 redevelopment, airside upgrades, and adoption of advanced technologies like eGates and FASTag-enabled parking.
• The new tariff structure aligns with models at other major Indian airports and seeks to increase the Yield Per Passenger (YPP) by 18% to ₹332.
• MIAL is prioritizing sustainability with initiatives like transitioning to electric vehicles and achieving net zero emissions by 2029.
