Delhi & Noida Airports May Soon Be Connected By A Tunnel; Here’s What We Know

A tunnel between the IGI Airport in Delhi and the upcoming Noida International Airport is now being planned to make commuting easier between the two airports. The Union Ministry of Road Transport and Highways and the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) have now started a feasibility study. If the plan becomes a reality, then yes, a tunnel can definitely ensure faster travel between Delhi and Noida.

Tunnel Planned Between IGI Airport In Delhi And Noida Airport 

Commercial flight operations at Noida International Airport in Jewar will officially start on June 15, 2026. And now, authorities are planning a tunnel between this new airport and the IGI Airport in Delhi. According to NDTV, the plan is still in its early stages, and a feasibility study is being conducted. The proposed tunnel will reduce traffic and ensure faster travel between Delhi and Noida.

Moreover, authorities are also planning to extend the tunnel to Gurugram in the future. Reportedly, the NHAI has divided the project into two phases. In the first phase, a feasibility study has been initiated for the tunnel from Talkatora Stadium to Gurugram via IGI Airport.

In the second phase, studies will be conducted to extend the tunnel route from Talkatora Stadium to Sarai Kale Khan. Here, the tunnel will connect to the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway, providing direct connectivity to Noida International Airport via the Chandawali-Jewar link road.

Tunnel Route To Have Multiple Entry & Exit Points 

According to NDTV, the tunnel project between Delhi and Noida airports will have multiple entry and exit points along the route. One of the main entrances will be near Talkatora Stadium. This will benefit residents of Karol Bagh, Patel Nagar, Rajendra Place, Connaught Place, and other surrounding areas.

It should be noted that the plan is still in its initial stages, and according to authorities, nothing has been specified on paper as of now. Once the alignment is finalised, a Detailed Project Report (DPR) will be prepared. This report will include everything about the project, including construction costs, technical challenges, and timelines.
