Passengers on international flights to and from New Delhi will soon no longer walk through the overcrowded building that has been the Indian capital’s gateway to the world for 24 years.

From July 14, they will instead enter a terminal designed by London architects HOK International and encased in sheets of glass etched with images of Indian dancers. With 78 gates, 97 automated walkways, 95 immigration counters, 20,000 square meters of retail space, and parking for 4,300 cars, the building is comparable to the aviation hubs of Dubai, Hong Kong, and Singapore, Bloomberg Businessweek reports in its July 5 issue.
