Navi Mumbai International Airport, Greenfield airport in India
Navi Mumbai International Airport is a new airport site in Panvel, about 46 km from Mumbai's main airport. It features two runways, four terminals, and is initially set to handle around 20 million passengers per year, with future capacity reaching up to 90 million.
Planning began in 1997, but construction only picked up pace decades later. In October 2025, the site was officially opened, and regular flight operations started in December of that year.
The terminal is designed after India's national flower, with a roof that resembles the opening petals of a lotus. The architecture creates large indoor spaces with plenty of daylight, while museums nearby will showcase local art and stories from Maharashtra.
New roads and a metro link will ease the journey from the city center, while trains from Panvel station offer another option. Digital check-in counters and paperless boarding passes should reduce waiting times and streamline the process.
This airport site is India's first fully digital one, relying on paperless operations and apps for flight tracking and live updates. The airport code NMI is new and different from the older BOM, so travelers should check carefully which terminal their booking refers to.

Everywhere, in deserts, along coasts, and in city centers, new building projects change how cities grow and work. Some build tall towers that change the view, others create whole neighborhoods from scratch. Each project shows different ways of thinking about design, technology, and how people live together. In Saudi Arabia, The Line offers a city without cars that runs through the desert, Trojena gives mountain skiing, and Sindalah builds a new island in the Red Sea. In Dubai, buildings like One Za’abeel, where two towers connect with a hanging bridge, or Dubai Creek Tower that switches the look along the water. In Paris, the Tour Triangle, a glass pyramid in the south, shows how the city considers height and space. These projects are of different sizes and purposes. There are large factories like Oxagon that work on the water, and places to live or work in Jeddah, Zhuhai, and elsewhere. Some are already being built, with the bases and structure going up, others are waiting for permission or funds. Each project aims to meet local needs, whether for more homes, attracting visitors, or trying new ways to build that care for the environment. Together, they show how architects and city planners think about the links between buildings, roads, and daily life around the world.
