Expert Analysis

Expert Analysis:

  • CIAL has installed Bridge-Mounted Equipment (BME) at its international terminal with an investment of ₹15.04 Cr, allowing parked aircraft to receive electricity and conditioned air directly from airport infrastructure.

  • The system includes 10 bridge-mounted 90 kVA Ground Power Units and 10 Pre-Conditioned Air units, along with mobile units, reducing aircraft dependence on Auxiliary Power Units and diesel-powered ground equipment.

  • CIAL estimates the initiative can prevent around 122–145 kg of CO₂ emissions per aircraft per hour, while also reducing noise on the airport apron.

  • The project strengthens CIAL’s broader sustainability strategy, building on its position as the world’s first fully solar-powered airport and its current 50 MWp solar capacity.
