Walking Distance to Drop from 750m to 80

Once completed, the subway will cut the walking distance between T3 and T2 from nearly 750 metres to about 80 metres, making travel between terminals much faster and easier for passengers.

New Pedestrian Subway to Link T3 and T2

A new pedestrian subway at Delhi airport will directly connect Terminal 3 metro station with Terminal 2, improving passenger movement and reducing dependence on shuttle buses and long walking routes.
