Noida International Airport (NIA) has adopted a digital asset management platform to oversee critical infrastructure, maintenance operations and long-term planning as the greenfield airport prepares for significant expansion in the coming decades.
According to an announcement from Octave Intelligence plc, the airport has deployed Octave Attune EAM, formerly known as HxGN EAM, as its enterprise asset management system. The platform is designed to support operational readiness, improve maintenance planning and help manage the airport's growing infrastructure footprint.
The move comes as Noida International Airport positions itself as a major aviation gateway for northern India.
The platform was selected during the airport's construction phase as part of a strategy to establish a unified approach to asset management from the beginning of operations.
The system has been deployed to create a centralised registry of critical airport assets, including:
According to the company, the platform will provide a single source of operational data, supporting preventive maintenance, asset lifecycle planning and regulatory compliance across the airport's infrastructure.
For large airports, managing thousands of interconnected assets through a single digital platform can help reduce operational disruptions and improve maintenance efficiency.
Noida International Airport opened its first phase on 28 March and is expected to become one of Asia's largest airports over time.
According to the company, passenger handling capacity is projected to increase from 12 million passengers at launch to as many as 70 million passengers annually by 2050.
The airport forms part of India's wider aviation expansion programme.
Industry data cited in the announcement showed:
As passenger volumes grow, digital management systems are becoming increasingly important in maintaining operational reliability and safety standards.
The deployment initially began as a standalone platform during the commissioning phase.
Over time, the airport plans to integrate the system with several operational technologies, including:
According to Octave, these integrations are intended to connect operational data, maintenance records and real-world infrastructure conditions into a single decision-making framework.
The platform also includes energy management capabilities designed to monitor consumption across water, air, gas and electricity networks as part of the airport's sustainability initiatives.
The adoption of a digital asset management system aligns with broader efforts to modernise airport infrastructure across India.
According to the company, connected asset intelligence allows operators to shift maintenance planning from reactive repairs to condition-based interventions supported by operational performance data.
The announcement noted that India plans to invest ₹150 billion in airport modernisation initiatives by 2028, increasing the importance of integrated systems capable of managing safety, compliance and infrastructure data at scale.
Commenting on the deployment, Chanpreet Sahni, Vice President, India at Octave, said airports require a high level of operational visibility and proactive management because of the complexity of their infrastructure.
He said the platform provides a single source of information linking asset performance, maintenance activity and operational insights to support reliable airport operations as Noida International Airport expands.
