The facility will also bolster the terminal’s infrastructure, which will in turn boost further growth in export volumes at MIAL.

In October, MIAL handled 47,761t of international freight and 20,336t of domestic freight.

Total cargo throughput saw a growth of 6% with 68,097t of cargo handled during the month.

"The facility will also bolster the terminal’s infrastructure, which will in turn boost further growth in export volumes at MIAL."

MIAL is a public private partnership joint venture between a GVK-led consortium and the Airports Authority of India (AAI).

GVK MIAL was awarded the responsibility of operating and modernising Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport, Mumbai (CSIA).

With the new integrated Terminal 2 at CSIA, the airport will be capable of handling 40 million passengers and one million tonnes of cargo annually.

Terminal 2 also includes truck docks and levellers, heavy weighing scales, customs areas, seven X-Ray machines, material handling equipment, hydraulic pallet trucks and forklifts, 24/7 security with CCTV surveillance cameras, and a spacious palletisation area.
