International travellers may not have a harrowing time at Delhi Airport’s terminal 3, where long queues and seat shortage had been a common issue for the past few months due to a crippling shortage of lounges. Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL), has introduced "Encalm Privé," a world-class business class lounge at the Indira Gandhi International Airport’s Terminal 3. Now, there are three lounges at the airport.
