IGI Becomes India’s First Water-Positive Airport:
Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGI) has earned the title of India’s first water-positive airport among facilities handling more than 40 million passengers annually. This certification marks a milestone in sustainable airport operations and environmental stewardship.Being water-positive means the facility replenishes more freshwater than it consumes. IGI achieved this goal by expanding rainwater harvesting, investing in storage systems and adopting advanced recycling mechanisms. The recognition was formally conferred at the Water Innovation Summit 2025 under the NITI Aayog–CII water neutrality framework.
