CSMIA achieves highest carbon accreditation

Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSMIA) in Mumbai has received the highest level of carbon accreditation, called Level 5.

This means the airport has achieved net-zero emissions for its operations and has a plan to reach net-zero emissions from other sources by 2050.

Only 30 airports worldwide, including seven in the Asia-Pacific region and four in India, have this recognition.

CSMIA is committed to being a leader in sustainable aviation and will continue to innovate and set new standards for the industry.

The airport's achievement is based on a strong strategy for measuring, managing, and reducing emissions, supported by a robust environmental, social, and governance (ESG) framework and a dedicated carbon management committee.

The airport has reported more than a 98% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions since FY2022, largely due to energy efficiency measures and the replacement of older equipment with electric or low-emission alternatives.
