A Modern Passage to India
Indira Gandhi International Airport Terminal 3
New Delhi, India
“For the first time, we will have a world-class hub.”
Binit Somaia
South Asia Director, Centre for Asia Pacific Aviation
This world-class terminal for India’s second-busiest airport more than doubled Indira Gandhi International Airport’s passenger capacity.
Passenger Terminal World magazine described the airport as “India and Southeast Asia’s largest and most important aviation hub.”
Built in just 37 months, the terminal is designed to serve 34 million passengers a year, more than doubling the facility’s previous capacity. A Businessweek story cited it as “a new benchmark for completing major projects” in India.
Terminal 3 is the first airport building in India to receive a LEED Gold rating. Sustainable design strategies include use of natural light, interior finishes with high recycled content and battery-powered vehicles for moving travelers between terminals. The water management and treatment program features more than 300 rainwater harvesting pits.
HOK and Mott MacDonald led the project, which included renovating and extending the existing international and domestic terminals.
