New Delhi: Some of the world's most famous brands are now coming to the Delhi airport. Delhi International Airport (P) Limited (DIAL) has awarded the Duty Free Shopping Contract for Indira Gandhi International Airport to 'Alpha-Pantaloon Consortium'.

The Alpha stores at Delhi Airport will feature an extensive range of products by some of the largest and most popular brands in the world such as Armani, Gucci, Christian Dior, Calvin Klein, Nike, Swatch etc.

No longer is duty free shopping just about loading up with as much cut-price liquor and tobacco as customs regulations back home allow. Instead, airports are increasingly becoming upscale bazaars, retailing premium goods, electronic products, gourmet foods and fashion accessories.

Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Srinivas Bommidala – Managing Director DIAL said, “We are extremely pleased to appoint Alpha Future as the duty free operator for the Delhi Airport . Their extensive experience across the globe and in the country matches DIAL's vision for providing world class experience to travellers at the Delhi Airport .”
