T2 will be built in phases, with phase one totalling an area of 255,000m². This phase, scheduled to become operational by March 2021, will serve nearly 25 million passengers per year.

The second phase of the project, which is still under planning stage, will serve an additional 20 million passengers annually.

Autodesk India and SAARC head of architecture, engineering and construction Sunil MK said: “Globally, many developed countries including the US, UK, Germany, Singapore, UAE have mandated BIM in buildings and infrastructure projects which has led to better construction efficiency, lower cost and lesser negative impact on the environment.

“It is the right time for India to adopt this industry best practice to realize the country’s vision in infrastructure development.”
