The Indian Green Building Council has awarded the vast Terminal 3 at Indira Gandhi International Airport LEED-Gold certification for new construction.
Built in just 37 months, the 5.4 million-square-foot integrated domestic and international terminal opened in July 2010 and is designed to handle as many as 34 mln travelers a year, more than doubling the facility's previous capacity.
Indira Gandhi International is the second largest airport in India and the eighth largest in the world.
