The Nagpur Metro Rail Corporation Limited (now the Maharashtra Metro Rail Corporation Limited) awarded the contract to construct the station to Infrastructure Leasing & Financial Services (ILFS) in July 2016.[2] Construction of the outer structure of the station was completed by November 2017, and interior work began in the same month.[3][4] The station was awarded a platinum rating by the Indian Green Building Council, the highest rating the Council presents for sustainable construction practices that reduce environmental impact.[5]

Mahametro began installing solar panels at the station on 4 June 2018.[6] Construction of the station was completed by January 2019.[7]


Design


The Airport South station has a steel sheet roof and features primarily glass walls inspired by a green theme.[3] Solar panels of 110 KW fitted on the station's roof supply around 65% of the total electricity required by the station.[5] The station's upper floor houses a large hall which can be utilized to host conventions, weddings and other events.[3]

Airport South is the first metro station in India to implement the Bio-digester technology. The Bio-digester, a sewage treatment system, was developed by the Defence Research and Development Organization (DRDO) and dedicated to the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan. The station is also equipped with a rainwater harvesting system. Two pits of 2.1-metre diameter each collect about 80% of the total runoff water to be harvested.[5]
