FedEx is investing $150 million to build a new air cargo terminal at Indira Gandhi International Airport in Delhi, India.
Strategic Infrastructure Expansion
The facility will serve as a dedicated hub for FedEx Express operations in the National Capital Region, enhancing capacity for both domestic and international express shipments. Construction is scheduled to begin in 2026, with completion targeted for 2027. The terminal will cover approximately 100,000 square feet and include advanced sorting systems, cold-chain handling capabilities, and customs clearance infrastructure.
Capacity and Operational Impact
Upon opening, the terminal is expected to process up to 15,000 packages , doubling FedEx’s current air cargo throughput in the Delhi region. The investment supports India’s growing e-commerce logistics demand, where cross-border parcel volumes rose 22% year-over-year in 2025. FedEx stated the project aligns with its long-term commitment to expand infrastructure across South Asia.
Regulatory and Partnership Framework
The project follows formal approval from the Airports Authority of India and coordination with the Directorate General of Foreign Trade. FedEx has partnered with local engineering and construction firms licensed under India’s Goods and Services Tax (GST) framework to execute the build-out. No additional financial commitments beyond the initial $150 million were disclosed for Phase 1.
