Indira Gandhi International Airport

Indira Gandhi International Airport  is the primary airport of the National Capital Region,

located in West Delhi, India. Named after Indira Gandhi, the former Prime Minister of India, it is

the busiest airport in India in terms of daily flight traffic and second busiest in term of passenger

traffic in India after Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shiva ji international Airport. With the

commencement of operations at the new Terminal 3, Delhi 's Indira Gandhi International Airport

has become India’s and South Asia's largest and most important aviation hub, with a current

capacity of handling more than 46 million passengers and aimed at handling more than 100

million passengers by 2030. It along with Mumbai's Chatrapati Shivaji International Airport,

handles more than half of the air traffic in South Asia The airport serves as the primary civilian

aviation hub for the National Capital Region Of India. The airport was previously operated by

the India 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.

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. The new Terminal 3 building

has had the capacity to handle an additional 34 million passengers annually since the start of

the 2010 Common Wealth Games Indira Gandhi's Terminal 3 is the world’s eighth largest

airport.  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.

Delhi’s dream of having a world class airport will soon be a reality. The modernization of the

Indira Gandhi International Airport being carried out by Delhi International Airport (P) Ltd

(DIAL) is progressing at a fast pace. A senior govt. officials team comprising of Shri MM

Nambiar, Secretary, Ministry of Civil Aviation, Dr. Naseem Zaidi, Director General of Civil

Aviation, senior officials of AAI, officials of Delhi Govt., National Highway Authority of India,

PWD, Delhi Transco Limited and Delhi Jal Board visited the construction site of New Integrated

Passenger Terminal Building (Terminal 3) to witness the progress of the project yesterday.

DIAL officials presented the development progress report to the team of senior govt. officials.

The official’s team expressed their satisfaction over the progress of work. The infrastructure

facilities of Terminal 3 (T3) will be ready by March 2010 after which the ORAT (Operational

Readiness and Airport Transfer) trials will be carried out for three months.

The Terminal will be ready for commercial operations in July 2010.

Shri Nambiar inaugurated the check-in counters, unveiled the customized boarding cards and

also started the operation of 3 level baggage check-in conveyor which is the facility to be used

for the first time in India. To assess the status of work, the official’s team visited the departure

ramp, forecourt, 8 lane drop-off zone, meters & greeters area and retail area. The team also

visited the Apron area and Taxiways for apprising themselves about the progress of work.

Shri Nambiar inaugurated the Passenger Boarding Bridge (Aerobridge) at T3 also which is

equipped to handle an A380 aircraft. For an A380 aircraft, a single contact stand has 3

aerobridge ‘fingers’ designed specially keeping the A380’s size in mind. The A380 with its

double deck configuration and large passenger loads requires special aerobridges to allow fast

embarkation / disembarkation to passengers to reduce turnaround times. Such a facility is going

to be used for the first time in India at T3.

The group took keen interest in the progress of development work and also enquired about the

various technical aspects of the construction work. Shri Nambiar provided his insights and

suggestions on passenger amenities and airside infrastructure.

The most important step in the modernization of the Delhi Airport is the construction of the new

integrated passenger terminal (T3) which needs to be ready ON the Commonwealth Games

2010.

Termed as the third largest terminal in the world after Dubai International Airport’s Terminal 3

and Beijing Capital Airport’s Terminal 3, the colossal and ultra modern Terminal 3 (T3) at Indira

Gandhi International Airport is likely to change the face of Delhi’s airport

Proposed Design Of Airport

Construction Analysis:

Construction activities are quite satisfactory, so as to get it ready on the Commonwealth Games.

T3 phase will have a total project outlay of Rs 9000 crore and it would enable the Delhi Airport

to have a capacity to handle 60 million passengers per year by 2010.

Measuring 330m by 250m after completion, this terminal will handle 100% of the international

and 50% of the domestic traffic. With a total floor space of 480,000 sq m it is designed by HOK

International in consultation with Mott McDonald and is being constructed by L&T and

Meinhardt Engineering. Airbiz of Australia is the airport planner while project management is

being taken care of by Parsons Brinckerhoff International Inc. The interior and retail design is

being carried out by Woodhead International of Australia.

The structure

With a roof height of 27m, T3 will also have a five level in-line baggage handling system and

160 check-in counters as well as 70 desks for immigration. The building will be on two levels

with departures on the upper floor and arrivals on the lower.

Passengers that have checked-in will pass over a bridge to the airside and will be able to look

down to the arrivals floor from the bridge. The terminal will feature 74 aerobridges, 30 remote

parking bays for passenger movement to and from the aircraft. Six of the aerobridges will be

compatible with the A380. T3 will also have 55 new aircraft stands served by boarding bridges.

There will be an integrated 4,300-space multi-storey car park at the terminal.

Connectivity

T3 is the first phase of the airport expansion in which a U shaped building would be developed in

a modular manner, to allow for fast and efficient construction and ease of maintenance. By 2010,

all international and full service domestic carriers will operate from this newly constructed

terminal, while Terminal 1 will serve as an exclusive terminal for low cost airlines.

The new building will be connected to the city by a dedicated high-speed metro railway line and

a six-lane access road, connecting it to NH 8. Terminal 3 would be the terminating station for the

Metro rail. The Metro airport link has been designed on the lines of the Heathrow link in

London.

It would have five stations with six-coach trains running at a speed of 135 km per hour. The

distance from Ajmeri Gate to IGI airport is expected to be covered in 15 minutes.

Work in progress

Most of the excavation works for the Passengers Terminal Building has done very nicely and the

quality of the construction work are good. Construction of the four boarding piers has

commenced. Concrete reinforcement work for the pier footings is at an advanced stage. The piers

will house 55 contact stands for aircraft. Over 90% of the passengers at T3 will be serviced

through aerobridges.

First phase would use around 55 lakh Metric Tonne (MT) of aggregates, 4.5 lakh MT of cement

and over 90,000 MT of steel. Our assessment is that construction of T3 is nearly 40% complete

and it will be commissioned on schedule .

According to Arun Arora, associate VP, communications at DIAL: “The progress of T3 is on

track despite several major challenges. Numerous encroachments, which included entire villages

and industrial units, had to be shifted before work could begin. Additionally, protected wildlife

species present at the site had to be relocated. The Master Plan of the airport also had to undergo

a re-draft due to constraints placed by the orientation of the site.”

“DIAL achieved these milestones despite numerous challenges – chief of them being the fact that

the modernisation work is being carried out while the airport continues to remain in operation

round the clock. It has been an enormous task to execute this project while causing minimum

inconvenience to passengers or any disruption to the airport operations.

In addition, numerous encroachments on the airport property had to be cleared before work could

commence. Some part of the airport land was also home to some wild animals which had to be

relocated to a sanctuary. Moreover, several existing facilities within the airport had to be

relocated for the expansion works which was a major logistical challenge,” Arora adds.

Termainal 4 and 5

Terminal 4 and 5 will come at a later stage, and when 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.

Environmental Analysis:

With The building of new terminals there has been added stress on the environment. As the area

is being expanded more land could be covered in order to increase. As the nearby land of the

airport is full with trees and some species of various animals, so in order to expand the

authorities cut down the trees, they also shifted the animals to other places but it is hard for them

to adapt into a new environment.

The trees which are cut down are a crucial part of environment which reduces some level of

pollution also the animals which lost their habitat, it is difficult for them to adjust themselves

according to the new environment.

Also With the expansion more and more planes would come and this would ultimately increase

air traffic. This would led to increase air pollution with noise pollution which would hamper the

environment. The level of pollution increases which also directly or indirectly effects

environment and people living there.

The waste which is generated from the airport whether it is organic or in organic should also be a

cause of concern. Various types of waste is generated from the airport. Synthetic waste like

lubricants used in aircraft, used rubber tires, various wires and polythene bags, poly propylene

etc. are the various types of waste which is generated from the airport as it expanded so a

problem of dumping of them would occur, which is also a threat to environment.

TechnicalAnalysis:

The Terminal is spread over an area of 5.2 million sq.ft and will rival some of the best airports in

the world. Most of the civil works have already been carried out for this integrated terminal

which will handle both international and domestic arrivals and departures.

Construction of the boarding piers has been completed. These piers will house 48 contact stands.

Out of these 48 contact stands, 3 stands are dedicated for use by A380 aircraft with 3

aerobridges. In addition, 6 more contact parking stands and 3 remote parking stands at T3 can be

used to cater to the A380 or similar sized aircraft. It is estimated that over 90% of the passengers

at T3 will be serviced through the 78 aerobridges. It is notable that T3 will be one of the airports

that has provided the maximum number of aerobridges in the world for a single terminal of this

size. The famous Changi Airport at Singapore has 64 aerobridges.

T3 will have more than 90 travelators (or automated passenger walkways) in addition to 63

elevators and 31 escalators. Eight of the travelators will be inclined, the first of their kind in

India. Given the sheer size of the airport terminal building, such a facility is a necessity. The

length of the travelators starts at 28 meters and go all the way up to 118 meters. The 118 - meter

travelator, recently commissioned is the longest in Asia with energy efficient features of variable

voltage frequency operation and automatic start or stop feature for power saving. Terminal 3 will

also feature the largest Multi-Level Car Parking (MLCP) of India with a capacity to handle 4300

cars. A high-speed dedicated Metro rail link will connect the terminal to the City Centre.

Quippo Telecom Infrastructure Ltd (QTIL) has bagged the tender from Delhi International

Airport (P) Ltd (DIAL) for Neutral Host Shared In-Building Communication Solution at the

Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport’s upcoming Terminal 3 (T3). Quippo has introduced

Ericsson as Technical Partner for this prestigious project. The solution will be on active fiber-

based technology and is first of its kind in the Indian telecom industry for wireless Coverage

(GSM, CDMA & UMTS).

Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA) is undergoing a major transformation. The

airport is being modernised with the addition of new terminals, runways and other passenger

convenience infrastructure. The airport with a traffic throughput of 24 million (2008-09)

passengers is the second busiest airport in the country. The most important step in the

modernization of this is the construction of new integrated passenger Terminal 3 (T3) which will

be ready before the Delhi Commonwealth Games 2010. This phase will have a total project

outlay of Rs. 9000 crore, which would enable Delhi Airport build a capacity to handle 60 mppa

by end of 2010.

All lifts, escalators, walkalators will be controlled and monitored through the Control and

Monitoring system

14 diesel gensets will be controlled with 3rdgeneration PLC for automatic synchronization and

load distribution.

Terminal Approach

The new airport will be easily reached by a dedicated metro link or by bus, cars or taxi to the

departure drop-off area. The terminal will be a gateway to the world providing world class

facilities. The lounge and check-in counters will be spacious

The Fog Viewers:

The fog viewers are also installed in the new terminals. These are the equipments which are used

for helping a plane to land in foggy conditions.

Inside The Terminal

The new look and size of check-in counters will ensure short queues. The friendly design will

make good use of daylight. The retail and lounge areas will allow passengers to enjoy shopping

and refreshments, while still staying close to aircraft

Arrivals

International or domestic, all arriving passenger will enjoy same facilities. The lounge will be

extra spacious, greeting guests with murals of Delhi’s heritage. Emigration and baggage reclaim

will be high-capacity to ensure minimum wait.

Airside

All the runways will be equipped with CAT IIIB IL System, allowing compatible aircraft to land

even when the visibility is as low as 50m. This will make IGI the only airport of its kind in India.

Other players

Areva: Areva’s Transmission and Distribution Division (T&D) India Ltd has won a contract

worth approximately 40 million Euros for the supply of a substation package for Indira Gandhi

International Airport in Delhi. This contract is one of the biggest recently to be awarded in India.

Areva will design and manufacture a 66 KV substation which will supply to the new T3.

Systemair: The ventilation company Systemair received the order for approximately 470,000

Euro for the supply of fans at T3. The fans will be delivered from Systemair’s plants in Sweden,

Germany, Slovenia and Singapore. Some products will be assembled at its new Alwar premises.

ABB: Power and automation technology group ABB has won Rs312 crore order for supply of

electrical products and systems for T3.

Financial Analysis:

With the construction of terminal T3 and 1D lot of financial arrangements have been made , the

govt. had done huge investment in constructing these terminals. The overall cost of the project is

calculated as Rs. 9000 crore.

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 terminal. This include the

work done for checkin counters. This include work done for security equipments handling. This

includes setting counters fir tickets. This also includes for setting up a database for all the

customers who would come in the airport.

A part of this amount would also spent on the ATC which is the backbone of any Airport

because with the construction of new terminal load on ATC also increases so there is also a need

of upgrading it. So it also include some expenses.

Nearly 800-1200 crore were spent on electrical devices and fittings. As new termainal were

made to handle nearly 50 mn. Of people electric devices plays major role.

Nearly 10,000 k.m of the wires were used in the new terminal. The electric fitting is a necessity

in any modern device as other things. The electricity should be used for running escalators,

traveloators, computers, airconditioning systems, ventilators etc. almost for everything so it is

mandatory for authorities to used new technology in electric fitting.

This all work is done in a quite satisfactory way as all the equipments are working properly with

zero errors so as to today’s date. As electricity plays major role so a decent amount of money is

to be spent on these activities.

Market Analysis:

With the construction of the new terminals or with the expansion of it the market of the airport

increases, as more and more customers would come along with international customers more

business is being increased. As with the coming of the more customers the airport would

generate more business which would add to increase economy. Also the duty free shops, the

restaurants which are present there would also do a lot of business from them.

As the more and more customers would come to visit it also give a business to

nearby markets like we see in commonwealth games. Also this will increase the market size.

About New Expansion:

Terminal 3, a state-of-the-art and integrated terminal, is the world’s eighth largest passenger

terminal. It occupies 502,000 m² (5.4 million sq ft), with a capacity to handle 34 million

passengers annually.

Designed by HOK working in consultation with Mott Mac Donald,  the new Terminal 3 is a two-

tier building, with the bottom floor being the arrivals area, and the top being a departures area.

This terminal has 168 checks in counters, 78 aerobridges at 48 contact stands, 30 parking bays,

72 immigration counters, 15 X- Ray screening areas, for less waiting times, duty free shops, and

other features. Over 90% of passengers will use this terminal when completed. This new terminal

had been completed in time for the 2010 Commonwealth Games, which were held in Delhi, and

will be connected to Delhi by an eight-lane motorway (National Highway 8), and the Delhi Mass

Rapid Transit System. The terminal was officially inaugurated on July 3, 2010, and there were

nine flights to test the operational readiness of the new terminal and its ground handling

capabilities. All International Airlines shifted their operations to the new terminal in late July,

2010, and all full service domestic carriers mid November onwards.

T3 has India's first automated parking management & guidance system in a multi level car park,

which comprises 7 levels and a capacity of 4300 cars. The system is designed in such a way that

a person wishing to park can find space within 5 minutes with the help of an electronic dynamic

signage.

Terminal 3 will form the first phase of the airport expansion in which a 'U' shaped building will

be developed in a modular manner. In 2010, all international and full service domestic carriers

will operate from Terminal 3, while Terminal 1 will be dedicated to low cost operations. In

subsequent stages, the low cost carriers will also move to the new terminal complex.

The much awaited go ahead for the domestic airlines to start operations from the new T3

terminal has been given. After passing many hurdles Air India which is also the national carrier

will start its domestic operations from the new T3 terminal from 11 November 2010. Two other

airlines Jet and Kingfisher will move to the new terminal from 14h November 2010 for all their

domestic operations. Now terminal 1D of the old airport will be used exclusively by low cost

carrier airlines including GoAir.
