A portion of the roof at Terminal 1 of Indira Gandhi International Airport in New Delhi collapsed on June 28, 2024, following heavy rainfall and winds. The incident occurred at approximately 5:00 am local time and resulted in the death of one person and injuries to at least six others. Emergency services were promptly dispatched to the scene to assist those affected.

Visuals shared on various media platforms showed significant damage, with the canopy crushing several vehicles, including a taxi. The collapse also caused water to pour into the terminal amidst ongoing rain, leading to further disruptions. As a result, all departures from Terminal 1, which primarily handles domestic flights for carriers like IndiGo and SpiceJet, were suspended until 2:00 pm local time.

The terminal, which had recently undergone extensive renovations to expand its capacity to 40 million passengers annually, faced substantial delays and cancellations. As of 8:00 am, over 600 flights were delayed, and 17 were canceled. Despite the heavy rains, rescue operations continued, with injured individuals receiving medical treatment at nearby hospitals.
