MUMBAI AVIATION FUEL FARM FACILITY PRIVATE LIMITED

What MUMBAI AVIATION FUEL FARM FACILITY PRIVATE LIMITED does

Mumbai Aviation Fuel Farm Facility Private Limited (MAFFFL) is a private joint venture company incorporated in 2010 by four Indian public sector enterprises — Mumbai International Airport Limited (MIAL), Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL), Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL), and Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL) — to operate as the sole concessionaire for aviation turbine fuel (ATF/JET A-1) services at Mumbai's Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSMIA). The company manages an integrated fuel farm facility at Santacruz comprising five above-ground JET A-1 storage tanks with total capacity of 47,500 KL (30,838 KL allocated to suppliers), a fuel hydrant system providing direct-to-aircraft connectivity, and pipeline plus tank truck receipt/delivery infrastructure operating on fully automated controls.

MAFFFL's operating model rests on two contractual layers: storage and through-put services for four AERA-qualified ATF suppliers (IOCL, BPCL, HPCL, and Reliance Industries Limited), and into-plane refueling delivered through sub-concessionaires (BSSPL and Indian Oil Skytanking). BPCL separately serves as the contracted Fuel Farm Operator under a competitive-bid O&M arrangement. Since 30 September 2021, MAFFFL has operated an Open Access regime under which all qualified suppliers receive non-discriminatory access on the common user principle, overseen by a Joint Co-ordination Committee.

The company generates revenue through AERA-approved tariffs on storage, handling, and into-plane services; specific revenue figures are not publicly disclosed. The corporate footprint is intentionally lean (12 employees) given that fuel farm operations and into-plane services are outsourced, and the company functions primarily as an infrastructure holding and concession-management entity at a single airport site. The board comprises directors nominated by each of the four JV shareholders, and the company has experienced notable director turnover between February 2025 and June 2026.
