ATM in Delhi international Airport
Is there any ATM in the secure area of airport before one clears immigration
Is there an ATM or a money changer (Thomas Cook or Bank counter) right in the arrivals hall where one would pick up their baggage and go through customs
Or is it outside the main entrance.
If there is a money changer or bank counter would it be open 24 hrs
I have absolutely no INR and would like to step out of the airport with INR on me
Any inputs would be appreciated. Has anyone used it in the last few weeks
thanks

Right outside customs
Once you clear customs, and head towards the exit, you will find money changers/ forex counters with Thomas Cook and a couple of Indian banks...no ATMS, but they will exchange currency or Travelers checks for you.

And you will probably get a rather better rate using your foreign ATM card in an indian ATM, than by using a local money changer. So it can probably wait till the next morning when you're in the city and there's no shortage of ATMs.

Yes, there is an ATM in the arrival visitors area of the International terminal before you get to the taxi scrum. It's open as long as that area is open.
(or was last year and the web site claims it's still there)

Before immigration, none.

Yes, just prior to exiting the baggage/customs hall is the State Bank of India for changing money. [ATM machine at DEL airport hasn't always worked.]

Yes, the State Bank of India exchange desk is open 24 hours.

There is one ATM that I have found. With all the construction I'm not sure how long these directions will be good, but upon exiting customs, proceed straight and then take you first right. ATM will be in a stall directly ahead of you.
Unfortunately, there is only one (so it is a mob scene, especially when several flights have arrived at once) and it is frequently broken or out of money.
So, bring cash and plan to change that for your initial walking around money rather than relying on the ATM.
Good luck, TJ

New Delhi T3 - ATM's before customs ??
In the T3 interactive map, it shows 2 ATM's right before customs..http://www.newdelhiairport.in/T3-interactivemap.html...
Didnt notice them on my last arrival there.. This time would need to withdraw some INR to pay for customs .. I guess those ATM's mostly work right ?

I was speaking about Intl arrivals and couple of ATM's are there but all after clearing customs and this is not as per their online map...
It is a problem for situations where pax are needed to pay customs duty and may need to withdraw lcy..
