New Delhi, June 17: A power outage was reported at Terminal 3 of the Indira Gandhi International Airport in Delhi on Monday. As a result of the same, check-in and boarding facilities were impacted for a while, said an official. "Around 2 p.m. today, Delhi Airport's Main Receiving Sub-station (MRSS) detected a significant voltage spike at the grid, reportedly due to the tripping of a 765KV line. This voltage imbalance from the Delhi Transco Limited (DTL) Grid briefly impacted all IGI terminals, affecting baggage acceptance and e-gates", said a spokesperson of Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL) while speaking to ANI.

"To maintain essential services, we proactively switched all terminals to DG load. The power backup system, installed by Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL), was operationalised within a few minutes, and all backup procedures were initiated to facilitate passengers at all touchpoints", he added. Delhi: T3 Terminal Choked As Power Outage Disrupts Operations at IGI Airport, Reports.
