Indira Gandhi International Airport

Indira Gandhi International Airport is about 16 km from central Delhi and about 15 km southwest of New Delhi Railway Station. The Airport Express metro from Terminal 3 reaches New Delhi station in about 25 minutes, while the drive to Connaught Place can take 30 to 60 minutes or more depending on traffic, which is heaviest at morning and evening rush hours.

Delhi airport is inside Delhi, in the Palam area in the southwest of the city, close to the border with Gurugram in Haryana. The Aerocity hotel district sits at the edge of the airport, and Gurugram's business districts are a short drive away, which makes the airport convenient for both Delhi and Gurugram.

Delhi airport has three passenger terminals. Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 handle domestic flights only, while Terminal 3 handles all international flights and many domestic flights. Terminals 2 and 3 stand side by side, but Terminal 1 is about 8 km away by road, so check your terminal by flight number before traveling to the airport.

All international flights use Terminal 3, as do most Air India domestic flights. Terminal 2 handles IndiGo flights numbered in the 2000 series and Air India flights numbered in the 1000 series. Terminal 1 serves most IndiGo domestic flights plus SpiceJet, Akasa Air and Air India Express. The airport website has a search tool that finds the terminal by flight number.

A free shuttle bus links Terminal 1 with Terminals 2 and 3, running roughly every 20 minutes. The terminals are about 8 km apart by road, and the trip can take around 30 minutes in traffic. Terminals 2 and 3 are next to each other and connected on foot, so allow plenty of time for any change between Terminal 1 and the others.

Prepaid and fixed-rate taxis are available around the clock outside arrivals at all three terminals, with booking counters in the arrivals area. Use these official counters or a ride-hailing app rather than accepting offers from people approaching you inside the terminal. Traffic in Delhi can be heavy, so trips into the city take longer at rush hour.

Yes. The Airport Express (Orange) Line runs from its station at Terminal 3 to New Delhi Railway Station in about 25 minutes, stopping at Aerocity, from about 4:45 am to 11:30 pm. Terminal 1 has its own station on the Magenta Line, which links the airport with South Delhi and Noida, with changes to other lines for central Delhi.

Yes. Uber and Ola operate at all three terminals of Delhi airport. At Terminal 3, app-based cabs pick up at Level 0 of the multi-level car park, and at Terminals 1 and 2 the pickup zones are outside the arrivals area. Follow the signs after you leave the baggage hall, and allow some extra time at busy periods.

Foreign nationals and OCI cardholders must submit India's online e-Arrival Card within 72 hours before arrival, which replaced the paper disembarkation card in 2026. Most visitors also need a visa, and citizens of many countries can apply online for an e-Visa at least four days before travel. Fingerprints and a photo are taken at immigration.

Agra, home of the Taj Mahal, is a long road trip southeast of Delhi, and most travelers go by car or take a train from a Delhi railway station. A private car or taxi from the airport avoids changing transport with luggage, while the train requires getting into the city first by metro or taxi.

Gurugram is a short drive south of the airport and Noida lies to the east across the Yamuna River, and both are reached by taxi, app-based cab or private transfer. Noida is also on the metro network, with the Magenta Line from Terminal 1 running toward it. Road travel times depend heavily on traffic at peak hours.

Delhi uses India Standard Time, UTC+5:30, all year with no daylight saving time. The currency is the Indian rupee (INR), and ATMs and exchange counters are in the arrivals areas. Summers are very hot, the monsoon brings rain from July to September, and winters are cool with frequent morning fog that can delay flights.

Delhi airport is run by Delhi International Airport Limited, a GMR-led consortium in partnership with the Airports Authority of India, which owns the airport. It handled more than 78 million passengers in 2025, making it the busiest airport in India and one of the busiest in the world, with four runways and three passenger terminals.
