Navi Mumbai to Durgapur flights — quick facts

IndiGo 6E 603: the only non-stop from NMI to Andal

The Mumbai region's only non-stop to the Durgapur–Asansol belt is IndiGo's 6E 603. When the new airport's summer schedule began on 29 March, 2026, IndiGo moved this flight from Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport to Navi Mumbai. Recent schedules show it departing NMI around 10:50 and reaching Andal around 13:30 on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays. There is no flight on Tuesdays or Saturdays, so plan around those gaps. No other airline flies the pair non-stop. Times shift with each schedule season, so treat these as a guide and search the route on FlightGPT to confirm the current departure before you book.

Reaching Navi Mumbai International Airport from Mumbai and Pune

NMI opened on 25 December, 2025 at Ulwe and runs a single passenger terminal, so there is no terminal confusion. It is about 35 km from the old Mumbai airport. From South Mumbai, the Atal Setu sea bridge to Ulwe is usually the quickest road, while drivers from Thane and the western suburbs typically come via the Sion–Panvel Highway; allow 60 to 90 minutes at peak. Residents of Navi Mumbai, Panvel and Kharghar are only 15 to 30 minutes away. From Pune, the expressway exit at Panvel makes NMI noticeably closer than the old airport. Metro links to the airport were still being built in 2026, so most passengers arrive by cab or private car.

Kazi Nazrul Islam Airport and the Durgapur–Asansol belt

Durgapur's airport is at Andal, between Durgapur and Asansol in Paschim Bardhaman, and it was India's first private greenfield airport when it opened in 2015. It is roughly 15 to 20 km from Durgapur City Centre and a similar drive from Asansol, with taxis and app cabs at the terminal. That location makes it the airport for the region's steel plants, the Durgapur Steel Plant and IISCO in Burnpur, as well as NIT Durgapur and the coal belt around Raniganj. Visitors heading to Santiniketan and Bolpur also use Andal; that drive is longer, usually one and a half to two hours.

Who uses this Mumbai–Bengal industrial link

The passenger mix is mostly working travel and family visits. Engineers and contractors move between Mumbai-based head offices and the steel and power plants around Durgapur, and many Bengali families in Navi Mumbai, Thane and Panvel use the flight to get home without going through Kolkata. Students at NIT Durgapur and the region's private engineering colleges fly at term start and end. Without this non-stop, the trip means flying to Kolkata and then driving about 170 km, or a 30-plus hour train ride. The direct flight keeps the whole journey to roughly half a day door to door, which is why the five weekly rotations fill well.

IndiGo baggage and check-in at NMI

IndiGo's standard domestic economy allowance is one checked bag of 15 kg plus one cabin bag of up to 7 kg, with an extra small personal item such as a laptop bag. Pre-paid excess baggage online is cheaper than paying at the airport counter. Families travelling home for Puja often carry sweets and gifts, so weigh bags in advance. IndiGo web check-in opens 48 hours before departure, and DigiYatra works at NMI for faster entry if you have registered. Bag drop at IndiGo counters usually closes 60 minutes before departure for domestic flights, and boarding gates close 25 minutes before, so for a mid-morning flight leave home early enough to clear the road traffic.

Durga Puja, Diwali and Chhath: when the flight fills up

Demand peaks sharply in October, when Bengali families head home for Durga Puja, and stays strong through Kali Puja and Diwali, which fall in early November in 2026. Chhath Puja a few days later adds travellers bound for nearby Jharkhand and Bihar via Andal. With only five flights a week and a single aircraft, seats for Puja week often sell out weeks ahead, so book as early as your plans allow. Christmas and New Year, plus the summer school break in May and June, form secondary peaks. Monsoon weeks from July to September are typically the quietest. Comparing fares on FlightGPT shows the airline and travel-partner prices, and you book directly with them.

Days without a flight: Kolkata as the fallback

On Tuesdays and Saturdays, or if the non-stop is full, the practical alternative is flying to Kolkata, which has many daily flights from both Navi Mumbai and Mumbai's older airport. From Kolkata airport, Durgapur is about 170 km by road, roughly three and a half to four hours via the Durgapur Expressway, or you can take one of the frequent trains from Howrah, which take two to three hours. One-stop air itineraries via Delhi or Bengaluru to Andal also exist but rarely save time over the Kolkata option. For the journey back west, see Durgapur to Navi Mumbai flights.
