Wipro bags 10-year contract for Delhi airport

Bangalore: Wipro has bagged a 10-year total outsourcing contract from Delhi International Airport Ltd (DIAL) to provide information technology infrastructure and services for Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA). The award followed a globally competitive process which attracted several global and Indian IT partners. The company, however, declined to disclose the value of the contract.
DIAL is a joint venture comprising the Bangalore-headquartered GMR Group, Airports Authority of India, Fraport and Malaysian Airports. IGI airport’s new integrated terminal (T3) will be the gateway for the Commonwealth Games in New Delhi next year. IT is expected to be the driver for critical airport operations, including flight management, terminal management, ground handling and property management.
Wipro and DIAL have also signed an agreement to form a joint venture with focus on emerging business models and airport-specific applications. To be known as Wipro Airport IT Services Ltd, 74 per cent of the JV will be owned by Wipro, while the rest will be held by DIAL.
