- Rail and Metro: The terminal is well-connected to Panvel, Targhar, and Bamandongri railway stations. While Navi Mumbai Metro Line 1 is already operational, the proposed Mumbai Metro Line 8 is expected to link both major airports in the region.
Sustainable Infrastructure
In a move toward greener aviation and transit, airport operators are collaborating with Adani TotalEnergies Gas to develop dedicated electric vehicle charging infrastructure on-site, supporting the growing demand for sustainable travel solutions.
