Delhi IGI Airport’s T3 to Boost International Capacity by 50% by December

10 Sep 2025 CW Team

Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA) is set to expand international passenger handling at Terminal 3 (T3) by nearly 50 per cent by December 2025. With regulatory approvals in place, T3 will soon accommodate up to 30 million international flyers annually, compared to the current twenty million.

The expansion involves converting one of T3’s domestic piers into an international wing. Once completed, three piers will serve international flights and one will continue to handle domestic traffic. This reallocation slightly reduces domestic capacity from over twenty million to about 10.8 million passengers but ensures seamless handling of rising global travel demand.

Airport officials highlighted that the move aligns with India’s growing role as a global transit hub. The project has received clearance from immigration, customs, aviation security, and other regulatory bodies, with work already underway to meet the December deadline.

Industry experts say the reconfiguration is not just a response to rising traffic but also part of Delhi Airport’s long-term strategy to future-proof aviation infrastructure and meet international benchmarks. In recent years, the airport has invested in energy-efficient systems, digital services, and waste reduction as part of its carbon-neutral roadmap.

By reallocating resources, IGIA aims to enhance passenger experience for international travellers while continuing to provide efficient services for domestic flyers. The expansion marks a significant step in making India’s busiest airport more sustainable, globally competitive, and future-ready.
