It will be responsible for providing managed services across the entire IT landscape at MIAL and delivering high availability and operational efficiency across all the critical airport processes, the software services provider said on Monday.

"Wipro will begin the transition with a takeover of the IT services in the current terminals at Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport, which is expected to commence from April 1. As regards to T2, Wipro will assist in the preparation of IT related standard operating procedures and also work closely with MIAL during the testing and trial phase of the IT systems prior to managing all the IT services for the iconic new terminal," it said.

Once complete, T2 will be a four-level integrated terminal with an area of 4.39 lakh square feet, designed to cater to 40 million passengers annually.

WIpro Infotech is a division of Bangalore-based Wipro, providing enterprise customers with IT products, software services, solutions and consulting services in India and Middle East.
