Delhi International Airport is set to introduce India’s first air train, or Automated People Mover (APM), by 2027, transforming the travel experience for millions of passengers. The 7-kilometre route will link Terminal 1 with Terminals 2 and 3, Aerocity, and Cargo City, providing a fast, efficient alternative to road transport. Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL) has issued the tender for the project, which is estimated to cost under ₹2,000 crore, the news outlet The Times of India reported.

The air train aims to ease congestion, improve passenger convenience, and elevate the airport’s status as a global aviation hub. Currently handling 7 crore passengers annually, Delhi Airport plans to double its capacity to over 13 crore in the next 6 to 8 years. The APM will play a key role in managing this increased traffic, the news outlet said.
