  • The transition will help in the reduction of energy emissions of 2 lakh tonne of carbon dioxide per year.
  • Currently, the airport sources approximately 6 percent of its electricity requirement is met from onsite solar power plants and the remaining 94 percent of its demand is via hydropower plants.
  • The solar power plants are on the airside and on the roofs of the cargo terminals of the Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport.
  • The airport has targeted to become a Net Zero Carbon Emission Airport by 2030.
