Noida International Airport (NIA) has adopted Octave Attune EAM (formerly HxGN EAM) as its enterprise asset management platform, Octave Intelligence plc announced on June 24. The deployment aims to support the airport's long-term operational readiness and enhance passenger experience. Octave, a Nasdaq-listed global leader in software for critical facilities, will help NIA build a unified asset intelligence foundation as India's aviation sector expands rapidly.
Greenfield Hub Opens First Phase
The new airport in Jewar, Uttar Pradesh, opened its first phase on March 28 and is set to become one of Asia's largest. Capacity will scale from 12 million passengers at opening to as much as 70 million by 2050. India has doubled its operational airports in the past decade, from 74 in 2014 to 163 in 2025, with a national target of 350 to 400 airports by 2047. NIA sits at the center of this effort, designed to relieve congestion across the Delhi region and serve as a national and international gateway.
Building a Connected Asset Ecosystem from Day One
NIA selected Attune EAM during the construction phase to realize a commitment to a unified, data-centric approach to asset intelligence. The platform is now deployed, creating a structured registry for critical assets including runways, taxiways, airfield lighting, terminal facilities, baggage systems, HVAC units, e-gates, and vehicle fleets. This single system of record provides a reliable foundation for preventive maintenance, lifecycle planning, and regulatory compliance across the complex airport environment.
The deployment began as a standalone platform during commissioning and will progressively integrate with ERP, GIS, BMS, and BIM systems. These integrations will connect real-world conditions, historical data, and operational workflows, strengthening the airport's ability to make informed decisions. Attune EAM's built-in energy management capabilities will also help NIA monitor consumption across water, air, gas, and electricity as part of its sustainability commitments.
Digital Infrastructure for a New Era of Indian Aviation
India's newest international hub was designed to serve millions without the fragmentation historically seen in airport operations. Attune EAM provides connected intelligence that moves maintenance planning from reactive repairs toward condition-based decisions informed by performance baselines. This aligns with India's push for digital infrastructure and self-reliance in aviation technology. With ₹150 billion committed to modernizing airport systems by 2028, a unified approach to asset, safety, and compliance data becomes critical as the country expands its network of greenfield and upgraded brownfield airports.
"Airports operate at a level of complexity where clarity and proactivity are of the utmost importance," said Chanpreet Sahni, Vice President, India, Octave. "Noida International Airport chose to design for intelligence from day one. Attune EAM gives the airport a single source of truth that connects asset performance, maintenance activity and operational insight. This foundation will help NIA deliver a reliable, efficient experience as it scales into one of Asia's most important aviation hubs."
