Narrated By Amitabh Bachan The new terminal has been built by the GVK-led consortium has been built at a cost of over 2 Billion USD. The T2 covers an area of over 1400 acres. Granite that can cover 27 football fields, and over 18000 metric tonnes of steel have been used in its construction. Though no longer India's busiest airport, the four-storey terminal will cater to an estimated 40 million passengers annually. The new terminal has 188 check-in counters, 60 immigration counters for departing passengers, and 76 immigration counters for incoming fliers. To get around, passengers will have access to 47 escalators and 73 elevators. For those who stress about travelling to the domestic Sahar airport for connecting flights, a six-lane elevated expressway will ease things. A multi-level car park has also been built to accommodate 5,000 vehicles. T2 will mostly cater to international traffic, though a few domestic airlines are expected to move operations there later.Larsen & Toubro was awarded the contract to construct the new Terminal 2 which was designed by Skidmore, Owings and Merrill (SOM). The terminal covers a land area of 210,000 square metres and will replace the existing International Terminal. The entire project is estimated to cost INR98 billion (US$1.6 billion) and employ over 12,000 workers. The X-shaped terminal has a total floor area of 439,000 square metres across four floors and will eventually handle both domestic and international passengers. It will include new taxiways and apron areas for aircraft parking designed to cater to 40 million passengers annually. The iconic structure will have boarding gates on two piers extending southwards from a central processing building featuring a 42 metre high roof employing over 20,000 metric tonnes of fabricated steel covering 30 acres. The new T2 terminal building will operate Multiple Aircraft Ramp System (MARS) stands and swing gates, so that a single stand can accommodate either one wide body aircraft or two narrow body aircraft, in either domestic or international configuration. The terminal will be connected by the six-lane Sahar Elevated Access Road to the Western Express Highway. A metro rail link to the terminal is also planned. The Terminal will host the world's largest public art programme with 6,000 pieces of Indian art from the 8th to the 19th Century being displayed on 18 foot high walls along the terminal's corridors and other standalone display areas totalling 1.2 kilometres in length. The new terminal will have around 21,000 square meters of retail space, lounges and travel services, over 5,000 square meters of landscaping and a multi level car park for 5,000 cars. T2 will have 188 check-in counters and 60 immigration counters for departing passengers, and 10 baggage carousels and 76 immigration counters for arriving passengers. To transfer passengers across its four levels, the building will have 47 escalators and 73 elevators. The terminal will also feature 41 travelators. In the initial phase of development due for completion in 2013, the apron adjoining T2 will provide a total of 48 stands including 3 Code F stands (for the A-380). In the final phase of development a total of 38 Code E/F contact stands, 14 Code E/F remote stands and 19 Code C remote stands will be provided (total 71 stands).[39] International operations from the building will commence in January 2014, while the domestic operations will be transferred from the Santacruz terminal to T2 by the last quarter of 2014. The terminal will also boast 21,000 square meters of area for retail shopping. The new terminal will have 2300 CCTV cameras for passenger safety and 4100 public address speakers.

No matter what India may get others to build for for it, the sad unchangeable fact is that the indian-ness shines through all the artefacts, scrips, decoration etc..the unhygienic manners of Indians. City of dreams? You are treated by a nightmare no sooner than you get out of the airport! This airport would really speak for itself if only Indians could be taught to behave! Next India should build an equally impressive structure - a college to teach its people how to behave on the international stage. And why name that gateway after Shivaji? That's probably to appease the Shiv Sena. If that didn't happen, the airport might not have been built. Sad but true.

And it all happened during the UPA's time. Apart from the Airport, there were also the sea-link, the metro, the monorail and so on. What has BJP done to Mumbai since they came to power? Any major infra projects taken up? Genuinely asking because, I haven't seen much apart from a few announcements here and there.

I wish now they would clean up the Mithi River, over a 100 million dollars has been spent and the filth of the once beautiful rivulet has now been reduced to a sewage dump. Wish they had a private company like GVK take on this project with the same fervor and enthusiasm and cleaned up. Pls see on youtube how S Korea cleaned up their filthy rivers in the 1960s! It is truly amazing. If only the politicians were not so corrupt

Terminal 2 was really a good experience, traveled from Dubai recently and it was indeed impressive. To achieve it in Mumbai given that it's so populated and busy like hell is an achievement. Like to see a few more international airports like Terminal T2 in India.
-
It's beautiful but needs some colourful waiting areas with entertainment like Singapore Airport.

It was a proud moment for a PROUD Mumbaikar like me :). I was speechless with tears in my eyes. Finally Mumbai (& India) had a world class airport terminal. Truly International. The feeling of joy cannot be compared to anything else to see your motherland and hometown truly arrive.
Thanks to Air India who moved their domestic operations to this Terminal, I could finally see it for myself. My last trip abroad was before this terminal opened and I did not have anything coming soon. So I was thinking when will my chance come and OH boy, Air India finally made this happen.
As they say, my 56 inch chest was filled with pride as I came out of the terminal, enjoyed every bit of it and of course looking forward to using this in future (with Pride and proudly flying the National Carrier). Adding more business for Air India in the process ;).
Those were the days in India and these are the days in India. God is truly great!
