Overview
- A passenger video that circulated widely on social media captured water falling onto baggage belt number 5 inside Navi Mumbai International Airport.
- The airport said the leak was noticed by its terminal team on Wednesday and the area was cordoned off to protect passengers.
- NMIA reported the water originated from an air-conditioning duct, that the flow was contained within 30 minutes, and that the affected zone was cleaned and restored within an hour.
- Baggage belts were back in normal service by June 18 and there were no reported operational disruptions to flights, according to airport statements and local reporting.
- The footage has renewed public questions about construction and maintenance at the newly opened, high-cost airport, which began commercial operations in December 2025 and won recent architectural praise, and it may lead to closer scrutiny of upkeep practices.
