Near the T2 gates, Relay is your last‑minute stop
By the main departures area in Terminal T2, Relay covers the basics: drinks, packaged snacks, candies, and shelves of paperbacks and magazines. Prices run higher than city stores, but in line with typical airport rates, so a small water usually lands in the ₹40–₹60 range. It’s all self‑serve off the racks, with a single cashier counter that can back up a bit before late‑evening international banks of departures.
Relay in T2 sits airside, after security and immigration, so you can grab something and walk straight to your gate. Stock leans toward packaged chips, biscuits, instant noodles, and a few ready‑to‑eat items, plus travel‑size toiletries and basic stationery. If you want any kind of local reading, check the Indian fiction and newspaper stands first; imported magazines sell out faster and can disappear completely on busy weekends.
Opening hours roughly match the T2 international schedule, with shutters usually up from early morning departures around 04:00 through the late‑night wave past 23:00. Payments are card‑friendly and most staff accept UPI QR as well, but small purchases under ₹100 sometimes trigger “cash only” if network is flaky. There’s no seating, and the narrow aisle gets crowded when two or three families park trolleys in front of the coolers.
Watch timing on long layovers in T2: if you want to stock up at Relay, shop before the final boarding call, not in the last 10 minutes when queues at the single till suddenly spike.
