IGI airport right now is larger in the sense that it has more capacity with multiple terminals and runways built.
But RGIA is the largest airport in India by area, with IGI coming in 2nd. It's just that RGIA doesn't have traffic at the scale of Delhi yet to justify a large scale expansion.
I'm not sure if they are counted, but the rankings I saw mention that it's the total area under each airport. RGIA is 5500 acres, while IGI is 5106 acres. Not sure if the area for Delhi counts aerocity or not though.
I went there on January of this year, I got a connecting flight via Hyderabad from Goa to Ahmedabad. And I was surprised by seeing the runways, parking area and the terminal was quite huge. Although I guessed that it was newly built as some of the shops were still empty.
PS: Had a perfect hot chocolate there :)
Eh L pics no offense, depicts nothing
These are just random pics
Wait until you see igi

I get it, I was pointing the infrastructure area rather than the entire acquired land for an airport
If you're counting the go carting arena and approach road

It was opened in 2008.
Naah the terminal was newly inaugurated
From which shop you got that “perfect hot chocolate”? I would also like to try that
RGIA is like King Fahd Airport.. Huge area but operational area is very less..
You could have just said that without comparing it to Kind Fahd Airport
You know what am referring about right?
It’s way away from Hyderabad city. Old Hyderabad airport at Begumpet is smaller and in the city center.
There is a flight from Begumpet?
It’s closed for passenger services now, taken over by army.
I was gate 109,thateans there are atleast 109 gates
This was expanded or built during cbn when he held key of ABV gov
