US Transportation Department opposes Adani's cargo shift plan. The US Department of Transportation has formally protested Adani Group's directive to relocate international freight operators, including FedEx, from Mumbai's main airport to its new Navi Mumbai facility. The DOT argues the move violates the bilateral Air Transport Agreement and warned of potential adverse measures. Adani cites necessary refurbishment work that will temporarily reduce cargo capacity by 25 percent. However, US officials suspect the relocation serves to populate the new airport rather than address operational needs. This dispute highlights concerns about Adani's growing dominance over India's aviation infrastructure, as the conglomerate already operates eight airports nationwide and controls both Mumbai facilities. The outcome could significantly impact international cargo operations in India's financial hub.
