MS Tech Ltd., a global developer and manufacturer of nanosensors and detection solutions, has secured a major contract to supply and install multiple DUOSCAN™ explosives and narcotics trace detection systems at the new Adani Navi Mumbai International Airport in India. This deployment represents a significant expansion of the company's footprint in the Indian aviation security market, coinciding with additional DUOSCAN™ installations completed at Guwahati International Airport.
The Navi Mumbai International Airport, inaugurated in December 2025, is one of India's most ambitious infrastructure projects designed to handle up to 90 million passengers and 2.5 million tons of cargo annually once fully operational. The airport features state-of-the-art terminals, parallel runways, and India's largest planned general aviation facility, serving as a critical gateway for passenger and cargo traffic in the Mumbai region. Its modern cargo facilities are expected to accelerate trade and logistics while easing congestion at Mumbai's existing international airport.
The selection of MS Tech's DUOSCAN™ systems reflects the airport's commitment to integrating advanced detection technologies to address growing security challenges related to explosives and narcotics smuggling. According to Doron Shalom, CEO of MS Tech, "The recurring procurements from Adani Airports over the years along with recurring renewals of service and maintenance agreements speaks volumes about the overall performance and reliability of our HF-QCM nanotechnology sensors and our explosives detection products."
MS Tech's detection systems utilize High-Frequency Quartz Crystal Microbalance (HF-QCM) nanotechnology sensors that are non-radioactive, providing what the company describes as a completely green and safe working environment. These sensors feature self-calibrating and self-cleaning capabilities with high levels of sensitivity and operational availability. The company's product portfolio includes multiple detection systems suitable for aviation security, transportation security, high-threat facilities, military applications, customs and border control, and cargo screening markets.
The parallel deployment at Guwahati Airport supports enhanced security screening at one of Northeast India's most important aviation hubs, serving growing domestic and international traffic while reinforcing regional connectivity. MS Tech's systems are designed to enhance security while improving checkpoint throughput and operational efficiency through advanced trace detection of passengers, carry-on baggage, and checked baggage.

This contract award comes at a critical time for Indian aviation infrastructure as the country experiences rapid growth in both passenger and cargo traffic. The deployment of advanced detection technology at major new facilities like Navi Mumbai International Airport demonstrates how security considerations are being integrated into foundational infrastructure planning rather than being added as afterthoughts. As India positions itself as a growing economic power with increasing global trade connections, the security of its transportation hubs becomes increasingly important for both domestic safety and international confidence in supply chain security.
