At 3,624 MT, Mumbai airport sees 9% rise in mango exports in April-May

Indian Express20-06-2025
Mumbai's Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSMIA) has recorded a 9 per cent rise in mango exports in April and May, handling a total of 3,624 metric tonnes (MT) of shipments.
Alphonso, Kesar, Chausa, Badami and Neelam were among the mango varieties shipped this year, an airport spokesperson said, adding that London was the leading international destination, followed by Toronto and New York.
Last year, 3,318 MT of mangoes were exported during the same period.
'At CSMIA, we take immense pride in being the gateway for exporting India's renowned mangoes to the global markets. Our commitment is to excellence and to supporting exporters in taking India's finest mango produce to the world,' a CSMIA statement read.
This year, the Mumbai airport's mango export operations were centred around the Agro Excellence Centre, a 2,000 sq m temperature-controlled facility in the air cargo complex. The facility has temperature control between 15°C and 25°C to reduce spoilage and help maintain fruit quality. Palletisation is also done to aid air circulation and lessen heat exposure, the CSMIA statement added.
The airport also employed 'Turant', a mobile application, to deliver real-time tracking of shipments, allowing exporters and handlers to track movement through each step, from arrival at the cargo terminal to final loading onto aircraft.
As per the statement, Customs clearance, security screening and pallet handover were sequentially undertaken to ensure that shipments stayed within the regulated temperature range until final uplift.
'The growth of mango exports via CSMIA aligns with India's overall objective of promoting agricultural exports and facilitating regional producers to access overseas markets. The infrastructure of the airport is capable of catering to perishable commodities and is utilised heavily during the mango season when international demand is highest,' the spokesperson added.

Tesla To Launch First Supercharging Station In Mumbai

The Superchargers will offer a peak charging speed of up to 250 kW, with prices starting at Rs 24 per kWh Elon Musk-owned Tesla on Friday announced that it will launch its first Supercharging station in India next week, starting with Mumbai. The new Tesla Charging Station in Mumbai will be the first in the country and will include four V4 Supercharging Stalls (DC fast chargers) and four Destination Charging Stalls (AC chargers). According to Tesla, the Superchargers will offer a peak charging speed of up to 250 kW, with prices starting at Rs 24 per kWh. The Destination chargers will provide up to 11 kW of power at Rs 14 per kWh. 'This will be the first of the eight Supercharging sites that were announced during the launch in Mumbai, with more planned across the country, to provide the optimal cross-country experience," the company said in a statement, adding that more locations are planned across India to support cross-country travel and improve EV convenience. Tesla opened its first Indian showroom on July 15 at the Maker Maxity Commercial Complex in Mumbai's Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC). This was also the day it officially launched the Model Y in the Indian market. The Model Y, a mid-size electric SUV, is the first car Tesla is offering in India. It starts at Rs 59.89 lakh for the rear-wheel drive version, with the long-range variant priced at Rs 67.89 lakh. Tesla claims the Model Y can add up to 267 kilometres of range in just 15 minutes using the new Superchargers. That, the company says, is enough for five return trips between Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport and the Gateway of India in Mumbai. Additionally, Tesla will provide a free wall connector with every new car purchase, which can be installed at customers' homes for convenient charging. The company had paused its India entry plans in 2022 but resumed efforts last year, searching for showroom space in key cities. Its launch in India comes at a time when Tesla is facing falling global sales and increased competition in the EV market.
