Flights near Delhi and major Indian airports have experienced repeated GPS spoofing and GNSS interference, Civil Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu informed Parliament on Monday. Since mandatory reporting began in November 2023, authorities received regular interference reports from airports including Kolkata, Amritsar, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Bengaluru, and Chennai. Aircraft approaching Delhi's Runway 10 encountered spoofed signals generating false positional data and misleading terrain warnings, particularly during severe November episodes within 60 nautical miles. While GPS interference typically occurs near Pakistan and Myanmar borders, capital incidents are unusual. India reported 465 border-region interference cases between November 2023-February 2025. New protocols require pilots reporting abnormal GPS behavior within ten minutes, with ground-based navigation backup systems ensuring operational continuity. (PC: The Telegraph)
