The upcoming Leh Airport is poised to improve connectivity and create new economic opportunities for the local community. The design and architecture of Leh Airport reflect the city’s rich heritage, incorporating elements like stupas and local art, with a terminal roof mirroring the majestic Himalayas. Recognised as the highest-altitude airport globally, the Leh Airport project presents unique challenges and opportunities. The Leh Airport project stands out for its cultural integration and pioneering use of geothermal energy, marking a significant step towards carbon neutrality. This approach sets a promising model for future large-scale infrastructure projects in India and around the world.

One of the standout features of the Leh Airport project is its pioneering use of geothermal energy. In the frigid environment of Leh, our team drew inspiration from cold-climate airports in Russia, devising innovative methods that leverage the region’s unique conditions. Utilising frozen water to generate geothermal energy emerged as a pivotal breakthrough, enabling us to achieve carbon neutrality. This sustainable approach not only sets a promising model for future large-scale infrastructure projects in India and around the world but also highlights our commitment to minimising environmental impact.
