The upgraded terminal 2 of Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport is reopening from the intervening night of October 25-26, 2025. Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL) announced this on Saturday as Civil Aviation Minister Kinjarapu Rammohan Naidu inaugurated the future-ready Delhi Airport’s Terminal 2.
Speaking at the event, Naidu said that Delhi is fast emerging as a preferred transfer hub, handling nearly 50 percent of the northern region’s total passenger traffic and managing around 50,000 transfers daily.The reopening of Terminal 2 coincides with the start of the winter schedule, the airport operator said in a statement. Terminal 2 was temporarily closed in April 2025 for a major upgrade. And I believe this has been possible only because of DIAL's continuous push for upgrading the infrastructure and enhancing passenger throughput," the minister said."Now the 40-year-old legacy Terminal 2 of Delhi has been reimagined and revitalized to serve the modern aspirations and growing demand. I would like to extend heartiest congratulations and deepest appreciation to DIAL and GMR for executing an efficient, smart, and passenger-centric modernization work for Terminal 2", he said.
