Terminal 2 International:

2024 December feedback from Ingo D.: Just flying out Bangalore international airport  and there is a (new?) outdoor smoking area after security. It is really huge, accommodates roughly 100 people and offers lighting devices. Can easily be found next (on the left) from the walkway to gates C1-6, D1-13

After departure formalities including security, there’s a full-sized smoking room in the International Departures area.  Follow the signs to the prayer room and the baby changing rooms, walk past them and look on your left.  The room has plenty of space, cigarette lighting stations and tables with bar stools to sit on.  They keep it pretty clean too. Update from Andy S. on the 20th Sept 2018. Unconfirmed feedback, as Email bounced.

There is a smoking pod that accommodate about 4-5 people at a time.
