Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL) on Wednesday said Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA) has become the first airport in India to achieve “net zero carbon emission airport status (Level 5 certification)” under the Airport Council International’s (ACI) Airport Carbon Accreditation (ACA) programme.
DIAL had initially aimed for the achievement in 2030 but achieved it this year through innovation , efforts and proactive strategies.
By achieving Level 5 certification, DIAL says it has “demonstrated significant progress in reducing its Scope 1 and 2 CO2 emissions by 90%. The remaining residual emissions have been addressed through approved offset removals, fulfilling the stringent requirements of the ACA program. Additionally, DIAL has committed to achieving net zero in Scope 3 emissions by 2050, aligning with ACI’s ACA frameworks and the global push for a sustainable future.”
