Mumbai, 04 May 2025:
Mumbai International Airport Limited (MIAL), operator of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSMIA), marks World Environment Day by announcing a significant milestone achieved in FY 2024-25, demonstrating its commitment to responsible aviation growth in India.
Key environmental achievements:
• Carbon Reduction: CSMIA has entirely switched to green sources for its electricity consumption needs, thus reducing Scope 2 carbon emissions by 100%.
• Energy Efficiency: Smart infrastructure upgrades like replacing 40 Air Handling Unit (AHU) fans with efficient Electronically Commutated (EC) technology and deploying IoT-enabled building management systems across Terminals and parking facilities, have delivered significant energy savings.
• Biodiversity Enhancement: Around 2,000 native trees were planted using the Miyawaki method supporting the Adani Group’s commitment to plant 100 million trees by 2030, contributing to local ecosystem restoration and carbon sequestration.
Comprehensive Environmental Management:
• Waste & Water Management: Advanced recycling infrastructure includes Reverse Vending Machines at Terminal 2. Similarly, organic waste composters that convert biodegradable waste into landscaping compost have been installed. In addition, Reverse osmosis (RO) plants treat wastewater for reuse in cooling systems.
• Air Quality & Noise Monitoring: Real-time monitoring systems track PM10, PM2.5, and other pollutants near Runway 09, while a network of noise monitoring stations informs operational adjustments to reduce community impact.
The Mumbai Int. Airport has undertaken several impactful initiatives in FY25, reinforcing its commitment to sustainability. Through a comprehensive and forward-looking environmental programme, CSMIA continues to set global benchmarks in sustainable airport operations, positioning itself as a leading example of eco-conscious infrastructure in India’s rapidly evolving aviation sector.
