Connection time at SVO
I am planning to travel from DEL to AMS via SVO on Aeroflot on business class reward. Is 70 minutes at SVO sufficient for connection. What is reliability of IL96 aircraft from DEL to SVO.

Haven't been in SVO for almost 3 yrs, but 70 minutes doesn't sound like a lot of time. SVO is a bad experience, but given that you are only transiting you shouldn't go through the worse.

As you don't have to change between terminals, it should be OK. If the incoming flight is late thy should put you on a later flight to AMS (there are three a day - not that many)

"Very Poor" on-time performance
According to Flightstats, the on-time performance on this route is very poor--52% on time, rest with average delays from 45 minutes - 10 hours. With Aeroflot's current loads, I would book a later connecting flight.

Im equally concerned about a 1 hour connection in SVO between DXB and CDG, but perhaps they would put me on a later flight if there is a delay. Do these flights operate into/out of the same terminal? Or will the new SkyTeam terminal be complete later this year?

DXB-CDG in one hour is a tight connection
Skyteam, as KVS said there are several flights a day between SVO-CDG, and at least currently the flights are in the same terminal.
The one hour connection is tight (I wouldn't book anything with less than a 2 hour layover for clients). I don't know if you are traveling both segments on the same ticket (and can't remember the legal connection time at SVO--most systems have it incorrect), but if this is on two tickets, you easily could miss the flight and have little recourse in getting put on a later flight at no charge. Also, the flights do have high load factors (depending on time of year, day of week, and fare class).
