How do crosswinds affect runway selection at Indira Gandhi International Airport?

Aircraft land and depart into the wind. Headwind is the part of the wind along the runway heading. Crosswind is the part blowing across the pavement. A negative headwind is a tailwind. At Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL/VIDP) the live call is landing 29L+29R+28, departure 29L+29R with METAR wind 340° @ 6 kt. 29L shows 3.3 kt headwind, 0.0 kt tailwind, and 5.0 kt crosswind from the right. Controllers switch runways when the opposite threshold offers more headwind, or when the crosswind on the runway in use climbs. The component table lists every VIDP threshold so you can see which end holds the headwind and which end is taking the tailwind.
