It is being constructed by L&T on an engineering procurement and construction (EPC) basis and is slated to become operational by October next year.
The SafeLED AGL range provides lower maintenance and power costs, in addition to offering higher levels of safety, availability and efficient operations.
Bangalore International Airport chief project officer Tom Shimmin said: “As the BLR Airport gears up to support 55 Air Traffic Movements per hour on its second runway, ensuring safe and efficient operations will remain paramount.
“With our focus on safety and efficiency of flight operation, there is no room for error. We believe that ADB Safegate’s LED airfield lights will bring us the advantages of performance, cost and energy gains, ease of operation and maintenance, and overall safety and efficiency.”
