The Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (RGIA) here has been recognised with the ‘National Energy Leader’ and ‘Excellent Energy Efficient Unit’ awards at the 25th National Award Ceremony for Excellence in Energy Management, organised by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) on September 12.
This marks the sixth consecutive year RGIA has earned the ‘National Energy Leader’ title and the eighth time it has been named an ‘Excellent Energy Efficient Unit.’ Over the years, RGIA’s operations have led to energy savings of approximately 1.82 million units (MU).
