Bengaluru, India, March 30, 2026: ABB has implemented an advanced power distribution and water management automation solution at India’s newest international airport. Noida International Airport (NIA) in Noida, Uttar Pradesh, aims to improve regional connectivity and ease congestion in nearby Delhi from April 2026.
Designed to support 12 million annual passenger journeys in its initial phase, the airport needs a reliable, energy efficient and future-proofed power distribution and water management solution to support terminal operations, airfield services, passenger movements, water systems, baggage handling, ventilation and safety infrastructure.
NIA will begin operations from a single runway this April, with international flights scheduled to begin in the following months. Eventually NIA plans to expand to support upto 70 million passengers annually.
“To handle millions of passengers every year, Noida International Airport needed an intelligent, robust and reliable power infrastructure and an advanced water and wastewater management system. ABB’s solution is scalable to support Noida’s future growth plans and is a showcase for efficient power and water management for airports across India and beyond”, said Kiran Dutt, President, Electrification, ABB India. “By supporting major infrastructure projects like this, ABB is making a significant contribution to India’s nation-building journey. This aligns with India’s Viksit Bharat 2047 aspirations, focused on sustainable growth, stronger infrastructure and enhanced global competitiveness.”
ABB’s automated power distribution solution supports key systems including main and emergency power distribution systems, ventilation, lighting & energy management, and vertical & horizontal transportation. ABB’s PLC based-automation technologies will support the airport’s state-of-the-art water and wastewater treatment plants by enabling remote monitoring, early leak detection, consistent quality control and real-time water management. The solutions will help the airport reduce its use of local freshwater resources, recycle water, and provide clean drinking water.
