Honeywell has opened its Airfield Ground Lighting (AGL) manufacturing facility in Gurugram, India. AGL is a Make in ndia product that was designed and manufactured entirely in India. AGL is critical to airport operations and is subject to stringent safety and compliance regulations imposed by global aviation standards and regulatory bodies.

Honeywell's AGLs will be manufactured at its 41,000-square-foot facility in Gurugram; the solution represents the entire set of ground-installed luminaires and related ancillaries that assist an aircraft in landing and finding its way to the stand, allowing for uptime even in adverse weather conditions.

Honeywell's low-wattage, LED-based lighting solutions help airports improve operations and maintain compliance while also reducing energy consumption and increasing asset longevity. Honeywell LED lights are built to last longer and use less energy. It also has improved visibility, is easier to replace, and requires less maintenance, which helps to optimise an airport's operational costs. These LED lighting solutions are a more advanced and cost-effective alternative to traditional halogen lamps for AGL needs.

“As Honeywell, we are delighted to step up the manufacturing line for advanced airfield ground lighting system which is a completely designed, developed and manufactured in India. These highly advanced solutions are key to meet the airports need for balance in compliance, safety, and environmental standards. The new Honeywell LED lighting solution for runways and taxiways, along with our extensive range of other aviation solutions, will not only help airports address these challenges, but also help improve safety and efficiency for airfield ground lighting operations.” – said Ashish Modi, president, Honeywell India.
