Siemens bags additional order for Bangalore airport project

The Siemens Industrial Solutions & Services Group (I&S) of Siemens AG and Siemens India, on 27 July 2006, received an order valued at Euro 16 million (around Rs.96 crore) from Bangalore International Airport Ltd.

This new order is in addition to the contract bagged by Siemens in 2005 to equip the new airport with the complete electrical, airfield lighting, IT and communications systems, passenger boarding bridges, escalators and elevators, a baggage handling system as well as the power supply equipment and a building security and automation system.

This supplementary order thus means that the airport will be able to serve eleven million passengers a year in the first stage of the project – more than double the number originally planned. Even with this revision to enlarge capacities, the completion of the airport remains scheduled for April 2008.

According to a press statement issued by Siemens, the first stage of the Bangalore airport project was originally designed to handle approximately 4.5 million passengers. However, a recent study commissioned by BIAL forecast a turnover of around 6.7 million passengers in 2008, the year the airport is scheduled to open. Based on these studies, BIAL in April 2006 decided to make some appropriate modifications in the first stage of the project. And with a view to accommodate larger number of passengers, Siemens is expanding the baggage handling system. The terminal building is also being enlarged. Expansion of the power supply, building, safety and communications systems has thus likewise become necessary and now is also included in the scope of supply. In addition, the layout of the runway, the taxiways and the parking positions is being rearranged so as to allow more flight movements. In this context, Siemens is supplying the airfield and apron lighting equipment.

The new international airport is being built in Devanahalli, around 30 kilometers north of Bangalore. In the final stage of the project, more than 40 million passengers and a million tonnes of airfreight are to be handled each year.
