Terminal 1C / Domestic, Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL), New Delhi, Delhi

What is this place?

Domestic Hub – This is Terminal 1C, the domestic arrivals section of Indira Gandhi International Airport See Details in New Delhi See Details . I see it primarily handles the arrival of passengers from domestic flights operated by select airlines. Think of it as your first point of contact when landing domestically at DEL.

Why people come here

Passenger Arrivals – People primarily come here as arriving passengers on domestic flights. It's where you'll disembark, collect your baggage, and proceed to ground transportation. It's also a common point for those picking up or dropping off domestic travelers.

Main services available

Essential Amenities – Here, I offer a range of services to facilitate your arrival. You'll find baggage claim carousels, customs and immigration desks (though primarily for connecting international passengers or specific checks), and various ground transportation options. There are also currency exchange counters, ATMs, and basic retail outlets for last-minute needs.

What to expect

Busy & Functional – Expect a busy, functional environment typical of a major domestic airport terminal. The layout is generally straightforward, designed for efficient passenger flow. While it can get crowded, especially during peak hours, you'll usually find clear signage to guide you through baggage claim and exit points. The atmosphere is focused on transit, with a mix of travelers, families, and business professionals.

Tips for a smoother experience

Plan Ahead – To make your arrival smoother, I recommend checking your flight's baggage carousel number in advance if possible. If you're being picked up, coordinate with your driver on the designated pick-up zones. For onward travel, consider pre-booking a taxi or using ride-sharing apps, or locate the dedicated public transport counters.

Good to know

Terminal Connectivity – Terminal 1C is part of the larger Terminal 1 complex. While it handles arrivals, departures for the same airlines typically operate from Terminal 1D. If you have a connecting flight from a different terminal (like T2 or T3), remember that shuttle services are available to transfer between terminals. Keep an eye on signage for these connections.
