The Noida International Airport, also known as Jewar Airport, has awarded a 30-year fuel supply contract to the Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL). This government-owned oil and gas company will be responsible for providing fuel services at three locations within the airport premises.
Fueling the Future of Air Travel
The Noida International Airport, set to begin operations in April 2025, is a major infrastructure project that will significantly enhance connectivity in the Delhi-NCR region. The partnership with IOCL ensures a reliable and efficient fuel supply for the airport’s operations.
IndianOil’s Role
IOCL will operate fuel stations at three strategic locations within the airport:
- Near the main western approach road.
- At the airside for airport operations.
- Near the eastern cargo complex.
A Collaborative Effort
While IOCL will handle the primary fuel supply, other companies will also play a role in powering the airport. Tata Power will provide renewable energy through wind and solar sources, while Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL) will supply aviation turbine fuel (ATF).
Operational Readiness
The partnership with IOCL marks a significant step towards the airport’s operational readiness. The airport is expected to be inaugurated early in the 2025-26 financial year, with flight operations commencing in April.
A Major Milestone
This contract represents a major milestone for both the Noida International Airport and IOCL, highlighting the importance of collaboration between key players in the aviation and energy sectors to ensure the smooth and efficient operation of this vital infrastructure project.
