The long wait for India’s next major aviation hub is nearly over.
National, India – August 28, 2025 – Noida International Airport (NIA) has deployed a smart lighting solution across the airport campus, bringing intelligent, on-demand illumination that adapts to real-time activity. The system uses smart controllers along with motion sensing and dynamic dimming technology to provide light only when and where it’s needed, supporting safer operations while reducing wastage.
The Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contractor for the airport has facilitated this deployment in collaboration with a technology partner specializing in connected lighting systems.
Built around advanced smart streetlight controllers, the solution enables dynamic dimming, remote monitoring, and fault alerts. In comparable deployments, such systems have delivered up to 70% energy savings, around 50% lower maintenance costs, and more than twice the component lifespan by reducing unnecessary run-time and stress on fixtures.
The intelligent lighting network combines sensors that detect vehicles and measure traffic volume. This setup allows the airport to adjust brightness based on movement and activity patterns, improving visibility when required and conserving energy when areas are clear.
“Our goal is simple: light when needed, as much as needed. Smart lighting gives our operations teams real-time control, reduces energy use, and lowers maintenance effort—supporting a seamless passenger experience from day one,” said Nicolas Schenk, Chief Development Officer, Noida International Airport.
To further strengthen data-driven operations, the system also integrates ambient air-quality sensors in select locations. The compact units track PM1.0/2.5/4/10, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), NOx, temperature, and humidity, feeding real-time insights to facilities teams.
The system can be monitored, tuned, and maintained centrally—reducing downtime and ensuring consistent service quality across the airport campus.
