Delhi airport first to run on hydro and solar power
Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA) has become the first airport in India to run entirely on hydro and solar power as it switched to renewable sources for its energy needs.
The move will help in the reduction of energy emissions of 2 lakh tonnes CO2 per year, a significant step toward achieving Net Zero Carbon Emission Airport by 2030.
Approximately 6% of the airport’s electricity requirement is met from the onsite solar power plants. These plants are on the airside and on the roofs of the Cargo terminals of the Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport.
