Delhi Airport has been awarded the IGBC Net Zero Waste to Landfill Platinum certification for its terminals 1, 2, and 3. Delhi international airport limited (DIAL), the airport operator, on Friday claimed that IGI Airport is the first airport in India to receive this recognition for its operational phase.
This certification was conferred by the Indian green building council. Delhi Airport’s waste management infrastructure includes two-bin and four-bin segregation systems, material recovery facilities, organic waste composters, and real-time waste tracking mechanisms, which collectively enable maximum resource recovery and minimal dependence on landfills.
CEO-DIAL, Videh Kumar Jaipuriar, said, “This recognition is not just a certification-it is validation of DIAL’s unwavering commitment to building a future-ready, climate-resilient airport ecosystem. We are proud to set the benchmark for Indian aviation in responsible waste management and environmental governance. Our adaptability and proactive approach ensure that we remain at the forefront of responsible and sustainable aviation.”
