In a significant stride towards redefining the travel experience, Otis India, a subsidiary of the globally renowned Otis Worldwide Corporation, has played a pivotal role in the seamless and efficient movement of a staggering 25 million passengers annually at the newly inaugurated Terminal 2 of Kempegowda International Airport in Bengaluru.
Committed to meeting the demands of this monumental project, Otis India delivered a total of 107 units, including 29 escalators, 50 elevators, two dumbwaiters, and 26 moving walks. Each unit is meticulously designed with a keen focus on enhancing passenger experience, incorporating regenerative drives for energy-efficient operations.
Excitement surrounds Otis India's involvement in this milestone project, where Terminal 2 is hailed as a tribute to the Garden City of Bengaluru. The passenger experience within this terminal is aptly described as a 'walk in the garden,' and Otis India has been instrumental in ensuring that this experience, along with movement throughout the terminal, is nothing short of exceptional.
Terminal 2 not sets a new benchmark in sustainability. Boasting 100 percent usage of renewable energy, it is the largest terminal globally to be pre-certified with a platinum rating by the US Green Building Council (US GBC). Otis India, aligning with its commitment to smart technologies and energy efficiency, contributed to these sustainability efforts by integrating advanced elevators and escalators with building management systems. This not only enhances passenger comfort but also contributes significantly to cost savings.
Sebi Joseph, President of Otis India, emphasized the pivotal role played by the aviation industry in India, showcasing a rapid growth trajectory with passenger capacity expected to reach 420 million in the next four years. As the government invests in airport infrastructure, Otis India takes pride in being at the forefront of providing innovative and environmentally friendly solutions to meet the escalating demands of the elevator industry.
