Hitachi Ltd announced that Hitachi Building Systems Co., Ltd. (“Hitachi Building Systems”) and Hitachi Lift India Pvt. Ltd. (“Hitachi Lift India”), a subsidiary of Hitachi, Ltd. which operates sales, installation, and maintenance of elevators and escalators in India, have received an order for 40 units of high-speed elevators from Unity Group for the first time for their super-luxurious residential complex “The Amaryllis” phase 2 in Delhi, India.
These 40 units are high-speed elevators with a rated speed of 180 m/min or 150 m/min and have an earthquake emergency operation system that detects an earthquake and stops the elevator quickly on the closest floor so that passengers can get out without being stuck in it. These features provide users with safety, security, and comfort.
The Amaryllis is a 160,000 square-meter residential project that has 5 phases. Phase 2 consists of 10 high-rise residential towers to be completed in 2023. The 10 towers will be 143 meters tall with 35 floors. The Amaryllis is set to be the most iconic high-rise residential development in Delhi and is very adjacent to commercial places and sightseeing places such as Connaught Place and Red Fort.
Hitachi established Hitachi Lift India in January 2008 and began full-scale operations in the elevator and escalator market. Since then, it has secured many orders and has been engaged in installing and maintaining its products, including high-speed elevators for luxury residences, hotels, and offices. Hitachi Lift India currently operates in all major cities in India, such as Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Pune, Hyderabad, and Ahmedabad.
