According to recent status updates from the City and Industrial Development Corporation (CIDCO) and Adani Airport Holdings, construction of Phase 1 is in its final stages. Runway paving is complete, and successful instrument landing system (ILS) testing has been conducted to verify navigation systems.

For property buyers and land investors in the nearby nodes of Panvel, Ulwe, and Kharghar, the airport corridor represents a significant appreciation vector. However, buyers should ensure that any land layout they invest in lies outside the restricted aeronautical zones and has clear title records.
