CSMIA handles 3,624 MT of mango exports in April–May 2025

Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSMIA), Mumbai, has handled 3,624 metric tonnes (MT) of mango exports during April and May 2025, a 9% increase compared to the same period last year. The airport continues to play a key role in facilitating the movement of perishable goods, including seasonal fruit exports, according to an official release from CSMIA.

CSMIA has supported the export of several premium Indian mango varieties this season, including Alphonso, Chausa, Kesar, Badami, and Neelam. London emerged as the leading destination, followed by Toronto and New York, where Indian mangoes remain in high demand and enjoy a loyal consumer base.

“At CSMIA, we take immense pride in being the gateway for exporting India’s renowned mangoes to the global markets. With cutting-edge infrastructure and an advanced cold-chain system, we help preserve and elevate the global reputation of Indian mangoes by ensuring every fruit reaches its destination in peak freshness. Our commitment is to excellence and to supporting exporters in taking India’s finest mango produce to the world,” says a CSMIA spokesperson.

CSMIA has dedicated infrastructure for handling perishable cargo, anchored by its advanced air cargo facility equipped with technology to ensure high standards of quality and efficiency. At the core is the 2,000-square-metre Agro Excellence Centre, a temperature-controlled zone where key processes like acceptance, screening, and palletisation are carried out in a carefully regulated environment, mentions the official release.

The facility maintains a consistent temperature between 15°C and 25°C to preserve freshness and prevent spoilage. Shipments are carefully handled to minimise heat exposure and maintain ideal humidity levels. Palletisation is strategically carried out to ensure proper air circulation, helping extend the shelf life and quality of the fruit.
