Project overview

Delhi International Airport Ltd

Terminal 3
 Indira Gandhi International Airport
• Indira Gandhi International Airport  is the primary airport of the National
Capital Region, located in West Delhi.

• It is the busiest airport in India in terms of daily flight traffic and second
busiest in terms of passenger traffic in India after Mumbai’s Chatrapati
Shivaji international Airport.

• In 2007, the airport handled 23 million passengers annually and the planned
expansion program will increase its capacity to handle 100 million
passengers by 2030.

• In September 2008, the airport inaugurated a 4.43 kilometre-long runway.

Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA) was conferred the fourth best
airport award in the world (in the 15-25 million category) and 'Best
Improved Airport' in the Asia Pacific Region by Airport Council International.
 Indira Gandhi International Airport
• The airport was previously operated by the Indian Air Force
until its management was transferred to the Airport Authority
Of India.

• In May 2006, the management of the airport was passed over

to Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL), a joint venture led
by the GMR group, which also has the responsibility for the
airport's ongoing expansion and modernization.

• The most important step in the modernization of the Delhi

Airport is the construction of the new integrated passenger
terminal (T3) which was ready for the Commonwealth Games
2010.
 Need of expansion and modernization
• Owing to the booming Indian Aviation industry and the entry of
numerous low-cost private carriers, the airport saw a huge jump in
passenger traffic and has failed to cope with the demand.

• The capacity of Terminal 1 is estimated to be 7.15 million passengers

per annum (mppa). However, the actual throughput for 2005/06 was
an estimated 10.4 million passengers.

• Including the international terminal (Terminal 2), the airport has a

total capacity of 12.5 million passengers per year, whereas the total
passenger traffic in 2006/07 was 16.5 million passengers per year.

•  In 2008, total passenger count at the airport reached 23.97 million.

 Terminals
• Terminal 1 (domestic)
• 1A  built in the early 90's to cater to Indian Airlines domestic flights only. It is closed
and now its domestic flights have been shifted to terminal 1D.

• Terminal 1B has been closed for operations after the opening up of Terminal 1D
which opened in April 2009..

• Terminal 1C in which all domestic operations (airlines from terminals 1A and 1D)
arrive. The terminal is compact, however has received a new greeting area with
expanded space, and a bigger luggage reclaim area.

• Terminal 1D is the brand new interim domestic terminal, that was inaugurated on 26
February 2009. Once the new Terminal 3 is constructed in 2010, this terminal will be
made solely to cater to the low cost carriers as the full fare airlines will also move to
Terminal 3, along with the international flights. Terminal 1D has the capacity to
handle 10 million passengers per year.
 Terminals
• Terminal 2
• Even though constructed in the 80's, it was also in desperate need of repair.
• This sign of distress was taken care of before the inauguration of the
Terminal 3.
• The entire terminal has been upgraded. It has been repainted; glass
windows have replaced the old dark ones; floors have been refitted with
tiles, walls and ceilings now have new surfaces, more immigration and
emigration counters have been implemented, new seats have been brought
in, new baggage belts, more business lounges, eateries, and duty free
shops had also been added, which have now moved to the newer Terminal
3.
• Once all airlines moved to the new Terminal 3 upon its completion in 2010
Terminal 2 is working in tandem with T3, until the proposed T4 terminal is
built, upon which it will be demolished as per the proposed master plan.
 Terminals
• Hajj Terminal
Upon the annual Muslim pilgrimage of Hajj, specified flights move to
this separate terminal to prevent disruption of other passengers who
are travelling to other areas of the globe. A separate area has been
made for Hajj to cater to the abundance of additional travellers
during this season, and to accommodate them with enough provided
space. It has a 10 million passengers per year capacity.

• Cargo Terminal
The Cargo Terminal handles all cargo operations. The airport
received an award in 2007 for its excellent and organized cargo
handling system. It is located at a distance of about 1 km from the
main terminal T3.

which a U shaped building would be developed
in a modular manner, to allow for fast and
efficient construction and ease of maintenance.

• In 2010, all international and full service

domestic carriers operate from this newly
constructed terminal, while Terminal 1 serves as
an exclusive terminal for low cost airlines.

completed, all international flights will move to these
two terminals.

• While T3 will then be used only for handling domestic

air traffic.

• All three terminals will cost close to US$ 8 billion for

construction and are likely to increase the annual
passenger volume capacity to 100 million.
 Other features(T3)

thanks to travelators, if you follow a straight path from entry to
boarding gate.

• It should not take more than 45 minutes for a passenger to complete

all pre-boarding formalities, thanks in part to the scrapping of the ill-
founded system of screening baggage at the airport entry. This will
now take place at the check-in counters.

• The overall cost of the project was estimated as Rs. 9800 crore.

• However a cost over-run of rs 1000cr has been incurred including ATC

tower.

• Additional increase around Rs 750 crore — was due to the construction

of more floor space than originally approved.

• The external consultants, KPMG, an auditor, and public sector company,

Engineers India(EIL), have found that spending of around Rs 1,000 crore
appears to be excessive.

• The two firms have submitted separate reports. The overspending

comes to around 8% of the project cost, the reports say.
• Half of the amount is being spent on construction of the structure and
building of runways, The whole structure with the roofs and the planks.

• Near about 1000 crore were spent on I.T related works in the new

 DIAL to project Terminal 3 as premium
shopping destination
• The retail area at Terminal 3 (T3) is nearly the size of three football
fields.

• Expected to provide the much-needed boost to India’s lagging airport

retail business.

• Pitched through television and print advertisements as a shopping

destination, rivalling the spread at the Dubai and Singapore airports.

• DIAL, which runs Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA),

has forged four retail joint ventures, including one with Dublin-based
duty-free operator Aer Rianta International.
• Branded Explore, the retail space at T3 will stock some 20,000
kinds of products and nearly 1,000 brands. It will have stores by
fashion and jewellery companies such as Versace Group, Marks and
Spencer Group Plc, WH Smith Plc and Swarovski Group.

• DIAL also hopes to create an Explore India theme park on the lines
of Butterflies Garden at Singapore’s Changi International Airport
and Rijksmuseum at Amsterdam’s Schipol Airport.

• The airport operator expects sales at T3 to be around Rs1,000 crore

in the first year of operations, and to treble over the next three
years.
• New Delhi accounts for a quarter of the international travellers visiting India.
“Delhi’s experience should be different (from the Bangalore and Hyderabad
airports) as Delhi gets the international travellers who have the genuine
spending capabilities,”.

• A passenger currently spends less than $3 (Rs138) on average while shopping at

Indian airports, according to retail industry estimates. The global average is $15.

• Although Indians are compulsive duty-free shoppers outside, they are shy of
buying at terminals in India. “The idea is to make consumers spend more at T3,” .
• DIAL’s Autar said the airport will be pitching its
advertisements for the T3 retail space primarily to European,
Australian, Chinese and West Asian passengers.

• At duty free, travellers can browse through the "Delhi Bazaar"

- which replicates the experience of shopping at a traditional
Indian market.
