Noida International Airport (NIA) has entered into a strategic partnership with electric vehicle charging network Statiq to establish extensive airside EV charging infrastructure.

Under this partnership, Statiq will set up, operate, and maintain the airside electric vehicle charging infrastructure for round-the-clock operations, the company said in a statement.

All concessionaires and airport vehicles will have access to the EV charging network, designed to support the airport’s sustainability initiatives and reduce emissions across its operations.

“The collaboration focuses on providing EV charging infrastructure, which will allow all airport partners to deploy electric ground support equipment (GSE) and other electric vehicles within the airport,” it said.

In the first phase of this partnership, Statiq will install a mix of 7.4 kW AC chargers for smaller electric vehicles, and 120 kW and 240 kW chargers for high-powered, rapid charging needs.

“Statiq has one of India’s largest electric vehicle charging networks. With Statiq’s expertise, we will ensure 24/7 availability of fast EV charging infrastructure for all airside operations, in line with our sustainable design and operations principles,” Nicolas Schenk, Chief Development Officer, Noida International Airport, said.

Commenting on the development, Raghav Arora, Founder & CTO of Statiq said “Our progressive and innovatory charging solutions will ensure seamless, efficient and sustainable mobility, furthering our shared commitment to innovation and environmental stewardship.”

Statiq’s advanced charging technology will support the airport’s sustainability goals, helping pave the way for a greener future in India’s aviation sector. This collaboration aligns with both global and national sustainability efforts, promoting cleaner transportation, the company said.

The first phase of the airport, featuring one runway and one terminal, will have the capacity to handle traffic of 12 million passengers annually. Upon completion of all four development phases, the airport will be able to cater to 70 million passengers per year.
