Delhi Airport on Wednesday stated that it has becomes the India’s first airport to switch to renewable sources for its energy needs and is running entirely on hydro and solar power from June 1.
As per the statement released by the Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL), this is a major step by the airport toward achieving the ambitious goal of becoming a net zero carbon emission airport by 2030.
“Approximately 6 per cent 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,” it said.
