Delhi Airport has become India's first airport to move to green energy and now runs entirely on hydro and solar power.
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.
