India’s biggest software services company Tata Consultancy Services Ltd (TCS) and IBM India Pvt. Ltd are the contenders for an Airports Authority of India (AAI) contract to upgrade technology systems at 10 airports and improve information flow among them.
The two companies on 2 May submitted commercial bids for the order that is likely to be worth Rs.750 crore, although at least five firms had submitted expressions of interest for the contract, said two senior officials involved in the tendering process.
TCS and IBM declined to comment. Mint could not independently confirm the names of companies that submitted expressions of interest.
The seven-year contract will involve building a database and control centre for operations at 10 airports—Kolkata, Chennai, Ahmedabad, Pune, Calicut, Trichy, Mangalore, Thiruvananthapuram, Guwahati and Jaipur, said one of the officials mentioned above.
