I would support naming of NMIA after JRD Tata - PIONEER of Indian aviation !!!

Unfortunately politics won't allow him any place on any airport

..and let go of a golden opportunity of gaining political mileage? naah.

They Renamed Bombay without really building it so IF they build this airport, be sure they wont let it be called NMIA.
My Vote, however goes for the legendary JRD

First Pilots license in Maharashtra.
Flew the first commercial cargo flight into Maharashtra
Setup base of his Airline in Maharashtra's first Airport.

He definitely was the face of Maharashtra's Aviation. NMIA should be named after him in gratitude for what he did for the State!

Well, did Charles de Gaulle build Paris? Did Jomo Kenyatta lone build Nairobi? Did JFK alone build New York? Whats with this built argument? Where is it written that you have to build a city to name it after a stalwart from that state? A city is built by a whole lot of people through generations.

Either keep it as NMIA or name it after JRD Tata.
If and when it gets built, it will be Mumbai's the only second chance to pay a tribute to JRD Tata. No other city's airport has that much relevance to the Tata legacy as it has for Mumbai's.
