Operations at the Delhi airport largely remained unaffected even as power supply to six states was hit early Monday morning due to the failure of Northern Grid.

"As soon as there was a disruption in power supply, all our essential services like flight arrival and departure, check-in, baggage handling, aerobridge services were shifted to our back-up system. So all these operations remained normal", an airport spokesperson said.

There were reports of air conditioning not functioning in Terminal 1D and some portions of Terminal 3. Also, there was
