According to a source, the canopy at the arrival forecourt of Delhi Airport's Terminal 1 partially collapsed on Sunday morning, May 26, due to heavy rains and strong winds. The revamped Terminal 1 (T1) was recently opened for flight operations at the national capital's Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA), which is also the country's largest and busiest airport.

In a statement, airport operator DIAL said that a section of the external tensile fabric at the T1 arrival forecourt adjusted under pressure as part of the design's natural response to extreme conditions and to prevent excessive water retention, thereby aiding in water dispersal.
