The international Terminal 3 at the Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA) in New Delhi, India, was opened in July 2010. The IGIA is the busiest airport in the country handling about 46 million passengers a year. It is also the busiest in South Asia and is expected to handle 100 million passengers by 2030.

The IGIA Terminal 3 (T-3) was built to facilitate the 2010 Common Wealth Games held in Delhi. Built at a cost of INR128.5bn ($2.7bn), the 5.4 million square feet (502,000m2) terminal is reported to be the eighth largest in the world. It can handle 34 million passengers a year.

The T3 has two levels, upper floor for departures and the lower for arrivals. It serves both international and domestic flights and features a 300m-long public area. The terminal has the capacity to handle Airbus A380 aircraft.

Construction of the terminal project was started in February 2007 and was completed on fast-track in 37 months by March 2010.

The project involved modernisation of the runway and aprons. The third 4.4km long, 11/29 runway was built in September 2008 to support the expansion.
