A new low‑cost café at Indira Gandhi International Airport now sells water for ₹10 and samosas for ₹20, aiming to make travel meals more affordable.
Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport has introduced a budget-friendly café aimed at providing inexpensive refreshment options for travelers. The outlet offers bottled water at a price of ₹10 and the popular snack samosa for ₹20, marking a significant reduction compared to typical airport food prices.
The café is positioned within the airport's passenger areas, allowing both departing and arriving passengers easy access to affordable choices without leaving the terminal. By keeping prices low, the facility seeks to address the long‑standing concern that airport eateries are often costly for ordinary commuters.
Airport officials indicated that the initiative is part of a broader effort to enhance the overall travel experience, especially for budget‑conscious flyers. The modest pricing is expected to attract a wide cross‑section of passengers, from daily commuters to long‑haul travelers, and could set a precedent for similar cost‑effective food services at other Indian airports.
