A game-changing announcement from FedEx: the logistics leader will pour over ₹2,500 crore into a futuristic cargo hub at Navi Mumbai International Airport, partnering with Adani Group. This move cements India’s rising clout in international commerce.
Spanning 300,000 square feet, the automated center is tailored for consolidation and redistribution duties, crafted with Adani Airport Holdings. It taps NMIA’s multi-faceted setup to invigorate western India’s trade pathways, set to spawn 6,000+ jobs.
The ceremonial groundbreaking united Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis, AAHL’s Jeet Adani, FedEx CEO Raj Subramaniam, and COO Richard Smith, reflecting broad endorsement.
Jeet Adani praised the hub’s synergy with NMIA’s forward-looking infrastructure strategy, enhancing trade agility. Proximity to vital ports, industry clusters, and connectivity hubs equips it to fuel exports and elevate Maharashtra’s logistics prominence globally.
FedEx’s Kami Viswanathan underscored how logistics infrastructure underpins India’s trade ascent. This hub bridges FedEx’s global reach with India’s dynamic corridors, assuring superior predictability, pace, and performance for users.
Outfitted with top-tier sorting, dimensional tech, swift screening, and aircraft stands, it facilitates concurrent handling, boosting adaptability and transit reliability for premium sectors like tech gadgets, machined parts, meds, and perishables.
SMEs will benefit from bolstered trade access, cost efficiencies, and quicker turnarounds. NMIA’s cargo ramps up from 0.5 MMT to 3.25 MMT progressively, anchoring MMR as an elite freight portal.
Drawing from 30 years in India, this expansion solidifies FedEx’s footprint, positioning NMIA as a pivotal node in worldwide supply chains via fused aviation and transport modalities.
