The four-decade-old terminal 2 (T2) at Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA) will stand closed for upcoming four to six months in the next financial year for refurbishment work, scheduled to be completed in the September quarter, as per an official statement from the Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL). 

The IGI Airport is also the India’s busiest airport, accomodating a number of domestic and international flights on an everyday basis. There are three terminals on IGIA – Terminal 1 (T1), Terminal 2 (T2) and Terminal 3 (T3). 

Since T1 and T2 only facilitate domestic flights as of now, there will have no affect on international flights.  

The official statement from DIAL also confirmed that Terminal 1 will shoulder the additional load, ensuring a smooth service to passengers. 

“Terminal 2 will undergo a temporary shutdown for approximately 4 to 6 months to complete these improvements. The temporary closure of Terminal 2 is expected to cause minimal disruption to operations, as the newly developed Terminal 1 will absorb the additional load, ensuring continued service to passengers,” the release said.

Providing details on the renovation work, it further added, “The decades-old terminal will undergo significant upgrades aimed at elevating the passenger experience and increasing the airport’s capacity to meet future growth demands”.
