Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL) said in a release that the renovation work of T2 will commence in 2025-26 and is expected to be completed in the second quarter of FY26. The financial year will begin from April 1, 2025. According to DIAL, “Terminal 2 will be temporarily closed for about 4 to 6 months to carry out these renovations.”
“The temporary closure of Terminal 2 is expected to cause minimal disruption to operations, as the new Terminal 1 is capable of handling the additional load, ensuring uninterrupted service to passengers,” the release said. Terminal 2 was built 40 years ago by the Airports Authority of India (AAI).
“The decades-old terminal will undergo several major changes aimed at improving the passenger experience and increasing the airport’s capacity to meet future growth demands,” the release said.
DIAL CEO Videh Kumar Jaipuriar said the renovation of the four-decade-old T2 is the need of the hour. He also said the overall passenger experience will be enhanced by upgrading key infrastructure, improving operational efficiency and enhancing passenger comfort.
“The terminal’s projected passenger capacity is expected to peak by FY 2025-26, and the changes will be crucial in meeting the growing demand for domestic passengers,” he said. The Delhi airport handles around 1,300 flights daily.
