Maharashtra government proposes tunnel connecting Mumbai to new airport

India Oct 06, 2025

Maharashtra's government is exploring a tunnel that would connect Mumbai directly to the soon-to-open Navi Mumbai International Airport.
The airport, set to be inaugurated soon by PM Modi, plans to handle up to 20 million travelers a year in its initial phase.

The tunnel will link up with major city spots

The tunnel isn't just about skipping traffic—it would link up with big city spots like Bandra Kurla Complex and the Bandra-Worli Sea Link, making it easier to get around.
The plan is all about smooth connections: you could switch between road, rail, Metro, or even water taxis without hassle.
If it happens, this project could seriously level up how people move across Mumbai and Navi Mumbai—especially as the new airport is projected to become a major travel hub.
