Project Information
Mumbai's CSIA airport is currently being upgraded in light of the booming air traffic growth in the Indian aviation. According to the plan, Mumbai's airport will have a new terminal, a new ATC, new taxiways and have its old terminals upgraded.
Designed by SOM architects, a new integrated terminal spread across 4.8mn sq ft will be able to handle 40 mn passengers/annum by the time it is fully functional in 2015.
The design combines an innovative set of swing facilities to optimize utilization of the terminal across the 24-hour operational day.
L&T constructions bagged the $1.4bn contract to construct the terminal in November 2007.
The integrated terminal will be built in 2 phases. In the first phase, the international terminal T2A will be torn down and will pave the way for the construction of one side of the new terminal. This section is expected to be opened in 2013. In the second phase, T2B+T2C will be torn down to make way for the second and last section of the new terminal. Construction of this section will end in 2015.
Proposed Developments:

Another new terminal dubbed T1C has also been constructed. It was opened in April 2010 and connects T1A and T1B. This terminal also houses a 72 room hotel.

Design of the new ATC tower that'll be ready in 2012:
It has been designed by HBS architects and according to fellow member KB335ci2, it'll be 98.4m tall. Here's an awesome sketch drawn by him -
Apart from those developments, city-side infrastructure for hotels, business centres, retails, entertainment and leisure are also being developed.
