In a landmark move toward sustainable aviation and transportation, Servotech Renewable Power System Limited has announced that it has received a prestigious order from Bengaluru International Airport Limited (BIAL) to install a state-of-the-art EV charging station at Kempegowda International Airport, Bengaluru. The project will feature 10 ultra-fast DC EV chargers, each with a capacity of 240 kW, marking a significant step in the electrification of airside operations at one of India’s busiest airports.
The planned EV charging station, with a total installed capacity of 2.4 MW, will be the first and largest of its kind for airside EV operations in any Indian airport. Strategically located within the airport premises, the charging hub will cater primarily to electric buses responsible for ferrying passengers between terminals and aircraft. The new infrastructure is aimed at ensuring 24/7 EV operations on the airside, significantly improving turnaround times and boosting operational efficiency.
This development is in line with BIAL’s ambitious sustainability goals and supports Karnataka’s vision of becoming a carbon-negative state. With the successful implementation of this project, the airport aims to drastically reduce its transportation-related carbon emissions, contributing to a greener and cleaner future for the aviation industry.
As part of the agreement, Servotech Renewable will undertake the supply, erection, testing, commissioning, and five-year maintenance of the EV charging station. The company, known for its pioneering work in EV infrastructure development across India, especially in collaboration with oil marketing companies, brings its advanced technology and industry expertise to the fore in this flagship project.
Commenting on the announcement, Sarika Bhatia, Director of Servotech Renewable Power System, said: “We are thrilled to work with Bengaluru International Airport in its mission to drive sustainable change. This project is more than just an infrastructure milestone, it’s a step toward transforming urban transport at one of India’s busiest airports. With our advanced EV charging technology and infrastructure, we are proud to play a vital role in reducing the airport’s carbon emissions.”
She added, “Servotech has emerged as a leader in developing public EV charging infrastructure across India, and this pilot project further strengthens our position. It also aligns with our long-term commitment to support India’s clean energy transition.”
The partnership between Servotech Renewable and BIAL is a significant indicator of how public and private entities are increasingly coming together to foster green energy adoption and sustainable mobility. By electrifying the essential airside transportation system at the Kempegowda International Airport, the initiative highlights how renewable energy solutions can be effectively integrated into critical infrastructure sectors.
As India moves toward its larger net-zero and climate targets, such initiatives are crucial in setting the stage for similar projects across other major airports and transport hubs. Servotech’s role in this transformation, through its innovative technology and commitment to quality, places it at the forefront of the EV revolution in India.
