This will enable the airport to be largely dependent on green energy as the power generated from the solar plant is expected to support the IGI airport operations.
The Delhi airport becomes the first airport in the world to be registered under the Clean Development Mechanism of United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.
I Prabhakar Rao, CEO of the airport, said, "Aligning with the vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to harness solar energy to fight climate change, we aim to increase our solar power generation capacity to 20 MW by 2020."
