Manish Mehan, Managing Director and CEO, TK Elevators India takes an in-depth look at the technical improvements required for high-rise elevators.
India, the second most populous country in the world, is currently witnessing a land scarcity. Continued migration to metropolises, insufficient space and densely populated cities have led to congestion, making high-rise buildings a necessity and a practical way to meet the growing needs of growing cities. With this rising demand, there was an equally great need for advancement in the elevator industry for achievable and trouble-free circulation.
Despite the rapid development, however, there are also regular challenges. Here they are with technical improvements for the same.
The main barrier in the high-rise elevator segment is that, despite being a fastest-growing segment, it's not the most high-tech. The number of high-rise buildings built is relatively small in India and the elevators they come with generally have slow speeds and less sophisticated control systems.
While newer societies can install modern elevators, they lack maintenance. They also change leadership every year, which creates continuity problems.
