India’s Delhi Airport, which is run by the GMR consortium-Airports Authority of India (AAI), has become the first carbon neutral airport in Asia-Pacific following a series of measures undertaken by it to reduce the carbon footprint that included setting up of a 7.84MW solar power plant.

Carbon neutrality happens when the net carbon emissions over an entire year are zero or when the airport absorbs or  offsets the same amount of emission generated.  The Airport Carbon Accreditation has upgraded the Delhi Airport to the highest level of certification, level 3+ neutrality available to airports across the world.
