Client Brief

NIMS in Trivandrum is among India’s most technologically advanced

and Kerala’s largest Superspecialist Cardiac hospital. As a result, it if

often in the limelight with famous celebrities and politicians getting

operated at NIMS. Mr Faizal Khan – MD of NIMS Medicity, wanted

to make it India’s first Green Cardiac Surgery Hospital and was

successful when the plant was commissioned in March 14.

Project

Being a superspecialist hospital, NIMS can’t afford a power cut for

even a minute. This not only makes the performance and safety of

the Solar Power System imperative, but also presents peculiar

problems during design as Gensol managed to get only a few hours

of shutdown for connecting the Solar System with that of the

Electricity Panel. With added emphasis of aesthetics and scope for

expansion, NIMS now plans to put additional solar power plants to

increase its green footprint.
