Nation’s first interstate multi-modal transport hub coming up near Delhi airport

Indira Gandhi International airport, being Delhi’s major air hub, draws passengers from Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, Himachal Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, and Uttarakhand. Currently the airport premises lack adequate facilities for parking interstate buses, and hence the proposed hub aims to provide connectivity through metro, bus, and trains for passengers from neighbouring states heading to catch international flights.

The ISBT that will be built in consultation with the Delhi Transport Department will serve as a key element in bringing long-distance passengers to the airport, officials said.

The proposed airport ISBT is designed to match airport standards, offering amenities such as retail outlets, F&B options, EV charging, transit facilities, comfortable waiting areas, business centers, internet/Wi-Fi services, and souvenir shops.

Passengers arriving at the Delhi airport by buses from various states will have the option to use other modes of transport like Automated Passenger Movement or Metro to reach the terminal, eliminating the need for additional transfers.

Videh Kumar Jaipuriar, DIAL CEO, said, “India’s first multimodal transport hub, which will integrate bus, Metro, and air services, is a transformative project that redefines passenger convenience, offering enhanced facilities for bus travellers. It will offer an unparalleled passenger experience that begins before you even reach the airport”.
