Toshiba Johnson Elevators (India) has announced that it has bagged an order for the supply, installation and maintenance of 70 elevator units from Meenakshi Infrastructures in Hyderabad.

These are to be deployed at the Meenakshi IT Campus at Gachibowli in Hyderabad, Telangana. The project is scheduled to be completed in three phases.

Yoshiyuki Mabuchi, Managing Director, Toshiba Johnson Elevators (India), in a statement said, “This biggest order win in India is a testimony to Toshiba’s commitment to bringing high quality elevators that offer a safe and comfortable ride to Indian customers at a competitive cost. With this order, we come a step closer to our target of achieving and maintaining top market share in India and secure yearly unit sales of 2,000 by 2020.”

Toshiba will supply 70 units of Elcosmo-III series machine room elevators that have a carrying capacity of 20 passengers (1,360 kg), at a speed of 2.5 meters per sec. All the elevators will be backed with Toshiba’s smart Destination Control System (DCS), which will optimise the passenger despatch capability of the entire vertical transportation system.

The shortest waiting time, faster travel time and conservation of energy are major advantages of a DCS system.

With the introduction of Toshiba’s proprietary DCS technology, TJEI will offer effective people traffic management and vertical transportation solutions, required in IT & financial hubs.
