According to Times Now, three aircraft were damaged in the storm. Many parked cars were damaged by the falling trees. Airport sources told IANS that the three planes were parked at the T-3 (terminal 3) of the Indira Gandhi International Airpor. These belonged to Go Air and Air India.
21 flights, which were coming to Delhi, were diverted, officials told IANS. Among the flights that were diverted included four international flights coming from Kathmandu, Sharjah, Colombo and Kabul.
The rain brought down the temperature of the city which recorded a maximum of 43.7 degrees celsius on Friday making it the hottest day of the season.
Thousands of people had to run to take shelter from the storm and rain.
According to NDTV, at least 18 domestic and one international Delhi-bound flights were also diverted to nearby airports.
"The storm was so strong that it caused a pillar to fall on a parked car," said Ranjana Narayan, a journalist.
Delhi Metro services were hit on two of its busiest lines: Yellow and Blue.
Passengers tweeted that they were asked to deboard from the trains at some stations after technical faults caused by the storm hit the services hard on both these lines, leaving hundreds stranded.
Long power cuts have been reported from many parts of the city.
The Met office said the minimum temperature in the city was recorded at 29.1 degrees celsius, two notches above the season's average.
