Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International
Airport in Ahmedabad has implemented advanced cloud-based smart irrigation
technology to manage its horticulture areas, saving over 17 million litres of
water annually. Managed by Adani Airport Holdings Limited, the system uses
sensors and real-time weather data to optimise irrigation, enhancing greenery
without excess usage.
Spanning 17 acres of landscaped space, the
technology ensures precise watering while enabling control from remote
locations, including smartphones. This eco-friendly initiative is part of the
airport鈥檚 broader sustainability agenda, which includes energy-efficient
lighting and waste reduction measures.
In financial year 2024鈥�25, the airport
served 13.4 million passengers, a 14.8 per cent rise from 11.6 million the
previous year. Domestic passengers exceeded 11 million, with international
travellers surpassing 2.2 million.
Currently, the airport handles over 36,800
daily passengers across 288 flights and connects to 48 domestic and 16
international destinations. New routes include Don Mueang, Kuala Lumpur, Da
Nang, and domestic additions like Guwahati and Dimapur.
With increasing connectivity and
infrastructure innovation, the airport is emerging as a major hub. The success
of smart irrigation highlights the potential for sustainable practices in
Indian aviation.
