GMR Hyderabad International Airport Limited
Background
GMR Hyderabad International Aiprort Limited (GHIAL) is a joint venture company promoted by GMR Group (63%), Malaysia Airports Holding Berhad (11%), Government of Andhra Pradesh (13%) and Airports Authority of India (13%) as the other consortium partners. GHIAL won the bid to develop and operate the greenfield international airport at Shamshabad in Hyderabad through an international competitive bidding process conducted by the Government of Andhra Pradesh and the Government of India.
GHIAL's mandate is to build, finance, operate and maintain a Greenfield airport with service standard levels and infrastructure on par with any global benchmark, thereby enhancing shareholders value. Built through the Public-Private Partnership initiative, the futuristic airport will establish Hyderabad on the global map and thereby contribute to the prosperity and overall development of the region.
The upcoming Greenfield airport in Shamshabad, Hyderabad is strategically located in India providing excellent opportunity to develop the airport as a hub for domestic and international passenger and cargo traffic. The futuristic airport reflects the long term vision of its developers to build it as a major domestic and international hub.
Hyderabad – An Aviation Hub in the Making
Hyderabad is in the geographic centre of India and is within a two hours flying time to all the major cities in India and 3-5 hours flying time to all major cities in Middle East and South East Asia. GHIAL has the potential not only to become one of the main hubs in India but also for traffic between East & West. The proliferation of IT companies with headquarters has earned Hyderabad the reputation as India’s second Silicon Valley. The city is also a major centre for bio-technology and pharmaceuticals. Among the multi-national companies who have a presence in Hyderabad are Microsoft, Oracle, GE, Deloitte, HSBC, Baan, Infosys, Wipro and Satyam.”
Hyderabad has a population of 7.3 million inhabitants and a catchment area extending to 75 million people living within a couple of hours of the city. Currently there are 11 international airlines and 9 domestic airlines operating from Hyderabad flying to over 35 destinations. During the last one year, apart from KLM and Lufthansa, other domestic airlines have increased their frequencies. Thai Airways also was launched recently.
Project Details
Location
Hyderabad , India
Airport Opening Date
Target Commercial Operation Date: March 2008
Principal EPC Contractors involved
Larsen & Toubro – Airside & Landside Works
China State Construction & Engineering (HK) – Passenger Terminal Building Works and ATC Tower
Total investment
Rs.24780 million
Key Features
12 million pax per annum,A-380 compatible runway,
Modular Terminal Building and Business Hotel
State of art IT technology
With its gross domestic product (GDP) rising by more than 7% yearly, India is one of the world’s fastest growing economies. Booming manufacturing, services and export industries mean that more Indians are travelling than ever before with passenger numbers rising by double digits yearly.
Master Plan features
The initial phase of the new airport will be capable of handling 12 million passengers per annum (mppa) and more than 100,000 tonnes of cargo per annum. The ultimate capacity of the airport is over 40 mppa and 1 million tones of cargo per annum.
When the airport opens in 2008 its single terminal will be equipped with 12 contact boarding bridges, 30 remote stands, 62 Common User Terminal Equipment (CUTE) check-in desks and 24 self check-in kiosks, 45 immigration counters. The airport will have the latest IT systems and for the very first time in India - the Airport Operational Database (AODB) technology.
Airside Works
As part of its INR 5.18 billion ($115 million) contract, Larsen & Toubro (L&T) will construct the runway, taxiway and aprons capable of accommodating code F aircraft (including the A380 aircraft). It will also install the airfield lighting and aviation hydrant systems and construct the fire rescue station, airport roadways and cargo terminal.
Passenger Terminal
China State Construction Engineering (Hong Kong) apart from constructing the Passenger Terminal Building (PTB) will install the airport’s baggage handling system. It will also install the IT, electrical and mechanical systems for new terminal under the INR 6.88 billion ($153 m) contract with GMR Hyderabad International Airport Ltd (GHIAL).
Design Principles
The basic design of the passenger terminal building is simple, attractive and loose-fit. The fluid design is such that sequences of spaces are provided to facilitate easy and comfortable movement and orientation. The passenger terminal will initially cover 100,000 sqm of floor space that would ensure rapid transit between its Domestic and International concourses.
Another major attraction is the 'Airport Village' - a spacious covered area complete with shopping, kiosks and stalls where 'meeters and greeters' can interact with passengers. The airport village interiors will exude regional charm and flavour. There will also be a business hotel near the terminal building.
