Noida International Airport strengthens power network

Noida International Airport in Jewar will get a third independent power feeder as authorities move to strengthen its electricity network and expedite work on a 220kV transmission line.

The airport currently receives power through a 33kV supply, which officials said is operating smoothly without any reported breakdowns.

Pashchimanchal Vidyut Vitran Nigam Limited (PVVNL) managing director Ravish Gupta reviewed the airport’s power infrastructure during a visit on September 7. The review covered the existing supply arrangement, its status, future requirements and measures to improve reliability as demand increases.

“Ensuring a reliable, continuous and quality power supply to Jewar International Airport is our highest priority. The electrical system will be kept under continuous monitoring and necessary maintenance will be carried out in a time-bound manner,” Gupta said.

Officials said field teams had been instructed to maintain continuous surveillance of the existing 33kV supply and strengthen maintenance and safety arrangements.

The progress of the 220kV transmission line being constructed through the transmission wing was also reviewed during the visit. Officials were directed to coordinate with the concerned transmission division and expedite the work.

The additional feeder is intended to provide another independent source of power and improve the overall reliability of the airport’s electricity network.

“Strengthening the transmission network and creating an additional independent feeder are aimed at ensuring greater reliability and continuity of power supply to the airport,” an official said.

The review comes as Noida International Airport prepares for higher power requirements associated with the expansion of airport operations.

The airport’s existing electricity supply is currently functioning without reported interruptions, but authorities are simultaneously working on additional transmission infrastructure to provide greater redundancy.

The third feeder and 220kV line are therefore being developed as part of the broader effort to strengthen the airport’s supporting utility infrastructure.
