Delhi – Indira Gandhi Intl Airport Transit: Terminals, Metro and Connections

Indira Gandhi International Airport has three passenger terminals: T1, T2 and T3. Check your airline and flight details to confirm which terminal you need before setting out, as the terminal number determines where to go for departures or arrivals.

For a road pickup, use the designated area for your terminal. Airport cab information covers app-based cabs, prepaid and fixed-rate taxis, and car rentals at T1 and T2; T3 also has Evera electric cabs. At T1 and T2, the pickup area is outside the Arrivals Zone. At T3, the pickup point is Level 0 of the Multi-Level Car Park.

The airport identifies cab options outside the arrival gates at T1, T2 and T3 as available around the clock. Confirm the pickup point and fare through the airport or service operator before travelling, since transport arrangements can change.

The Airport Express Line connects IGI Airport with New Delhi and other Delhi stops, with QR-code single-journey fares varying by destination. Fares are ₹64 to New Delhi, ₹54 to Shivaji Stadium, ₹32 to Dhaula Kuan, ₹21 to Delhi Aerocity, ₹21 to Dwarka Sector 21 and ₹32 to Yashobhoomi Dwarka Sector 25.

Delhi Metro Rail Corporation advises using its Journey Planner for an exact fare when a journey involves an interchange, because the price can depend on the station where you change lines. DMRC also says smart cards provide discounts and special fares apply on Sundays and national holidays.

The fare table gives 10-trip cards a validity of 15 days; 30-trip and 45-trip cards are valid for one calendar month. These fares and ticket conditions can change, so check the official site before you go. For the airport-area station and its surroundings, Delhi Aerocity’s metro access is also relevant.

Allow enough time to reach the correct terminal, but confirm the transfer route and duration directly with the airport for your specific terminal change.

If your connection involves a road transfer, use the pickup area assigned to your arrival terminal and confirm arrangements with the operator.

The pickup points differ at T1, T2 and T3, so do not assume a cab will meet you at the same location at each terminal. The Delhi airport transfer to Mahipalpur covers the road leg from IGI Airport to the hotel.

The Airport Express Line offers a rail connection from IGI Airport to New Delhi, while a car journey is another way to continue into the city.

For a Metro journey to Rajiv Chowk, a third-party route description gives the route as Airport Express Line to New Delhi, then Yellow Line to Rajiv Chowk.

It gives the trip as 5 stops, 1 change and 26 minutes, with a ₹54 token fare. Treat those journey details as a guide rather than a guarantee, and confirm the current route and fare with DMRC.

IGI Airport is about 30 minutes by car from Hotel Pearl - Mahipalpur Delhi Airport.
