Tech Mahindra to support IT, cyber operations at Noida airport

Noida International Airport (NIA) has partnered with Tech Mahindra to establish and operate an integrated Network and Security Operations Centre (NOC–SOC) to support airport operations.

Under the partnership, Tech Mahindra will provide round-the-clock monitoring and management of network and security systems supporting the airport’s critical IT infrastructure. This includes applications, databases, networks, servers, storage systems and associated digital platforms. The integrated NOC–SOC is intended to enable the early detection, analysis and response to network and cybersecurity incidents, helping to maintain system availability and operational continuity across airport functions.

Commenting on the partnership, Christoph Schnellmann, Chief Executive Officer of Noida International Airport, said that as a greenfield project, the airport has the opportunity to build resilience and security into its digital systems from the outset. He added that the collaboration is aimed at creating a network and cybersecurity framework aligned with global best practices, as the airport moves towards operational readiness.

Sahil Dhawan, President and Head of India, Middle East and Africa Business at Tech Mahindra, said airports increasingly operate as complex digital environments where network reliability and cybersecurity are critical. He noted that the integrated NOC–SOC would provide continuous monitoring, threat detection and incident response across the airport’s IT and digital platforms.

Cybersecurity will form a core component of the airport’s operational framework, with Tech Mahindra working alongside NIA to develop structured processes to support secure and scalable technology operations from the airport’s inception.
