Delhi International Airport faced a brief disruption in baggage acceptance and Digi Yatra services due to a voltage imbalance from the power grid supplier on Monday. According to Delhi International Airport Ltd (DIAL), a significant voltage spike at the grid was detected around 2 PM, reportedly caused by the tripping of a 765KV line.

To ensure the continuity of essential services, DIAL proactively transferred all terminals to diesel generator (DG) load. The airport's power back-up system was activated within minutes, facilitating passengers at all touch points.

By 3 PM, the grid voltage stabilized, and services were transitioned back to the Delhi Transco Limited (DTL) grid load. The diesel generator supply was subsequently disconnected, restoring normal operations at the airport.
