Delhi airport operator DIAL on Friday said the four-decade-old Terminal 2 (T2) will be closed for four to six months in the next financial year for refurbishment works that are expected to be completed in the September quarter.<\/p>\n
The Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA) in the national capital, which is also the country’s busiest airport, has three terminals — T1, T2 and T3.<\/p>\n
Currently, T1 and T2 are used only for domestic flights.<\/p>\n
The refurbishment works of T2 are set to commence in 2025-26 with an expected completion date in Q2 of FY26, Delhi International Airport Ltd (DIAL) said in a release.<\/p>\n
The financial year starts from April 1, 2025.<\/p>\n
“Terminal 2 will undergo a temporary shutdown for approximately 4 to 6 months to complete these improvements.<\/p>\n
“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.<\/p>\n
T2 was constructed 40 years ago by the Airports Authority of India (AAI).<\/p>\n
“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,” the release said.<\/p>\n
DIAL CEO Videh Kumar Jaipuriar said the refurbishment of the four-decade-old T2 is the need of the hour.<\/p>\n
He also said the overall passenger experience will be enhanced by upgrading key infrastructure, improving operational efficiency, and elevating passenger comfort.<\/p>\n
“With the terminal’s projected passenger capacity expected to reach its peak by FY 2025-26, these enhancements will be crucial in supporting the growing demand for air travel, particularly for domestic passengers,” he noted.<\/p>\n
The airport handles around 1,300 flight movements daily.\u00a0<\/p>\n
