The Indira Gandhi International Airport is poised to significantly enhance its passenger handling capacity to over 100 million per year with the upcoming inauguration of Terminal 1, which is nearing completion, according to a report by Financial Express (FE).
Currently, the airport’s three terminals collectively manage nearly 70 million passengers annually. Under phase 3A of the expansion initiative, Terminal 1 is on track to augment its capacity from 20 million to 40 million passengers per year.
The ongoing expansion phase of the airport entails investments totalling Rs 12,000 crore, initiated in 2019 to equip the Delhi airport to handle 100 million passengers annually.
