From mid-Feb, fly to other metros from Delhi's T2

Fliers to Mumbai, Bengaluru and Kolkata will have to board their flights from Terminal-2 of the Delhi airport from the middle of the next month.  
GMR-led Delhi International Airport (DIAL) has asked IndiGo, SpiceJet and GoAir to shift operations from Terminal-1 (T1) to Terminal-2 so that the expansion work of the terminal can begin.

GMR-led Delhi International Airport (DIAL) has asked IndiGo, SpiceJet and GoAir to shift operations from Terminal-1 (T1), out of which they currently operate. Reason: So that the expansion work of the terminal can begin. Airlines, especially low-cost carrier SpiceJet and GoAir, had been opposing the plan — in the works of sometime now — as they feel it would inconvenience travellers.
They also claimed that asking them to shift would be preferential treatment to rival IndiGo, which had not been given such an instruction earlier.

On 19 January, DIAL Chief Executive Officer I Prabhakara Rao wrote to the heads of the three airlines that as there was no consensus between them over who would shift, all three would have to shift operations so that T1D could be decongested for expansion work.
