Discover how Cochin International Airport became India’s first fully solar-powered airport, leading the way in green transportation.
Did You Know? Cochin Is India’s First Solar-Powered Airport
Airports are known for their bustling crowds and high energy use, but did you know one Indian airport runs entirely on the power of the sun?
Cochin International Airport (CIAL) in Kerala became the world’s first fully solar-powered airport in 2015. It now generates all the electricity it needs from thousands of solar panels spread across acres of land near its runways.
This achievement makes CIAL not only India’s first solar-powered airport but also a global model for sustainable transportation infrastructure. Its 40-megawatt solar plant offsets huge amounts of carbon emissions each year.
By turning sunlight into flight support, Cochin shows how India’s transport hubs are embracing green innovation.
