Market Challenges

The elevator and escalator market in India faces significant challenges due to the high operational costs. New installations of elevators and escalators have a lifespan of 20-30 years, but their continuous maintenance is essential due to common issues like getting stuck, non-functioning call boxes, odd noises, and bumpy rides. Elevator components, such as door hardware, landing entrance doors, pistons, traveling cables, cab operating panels, cab wiring, motors, lift lighting, and fans, often require frequent repairs. Replacement costs vary from USD100 to USD3,000 for low-end elevators and escalators, while modernization can cost more than USD200 for fixtures and over USD7,000 for control systems. Installing a new piston or motor costs over USD10,000. High repair, replacement, and maintenance costs may discourage property owners from modernizing their lifts and escalators, potentially limiting market growth.

The Indian elevator and escalator market is witnessing significant growth, driven by infrastructure development in sectors like hospitality, airports, train stations, and bus terminals, especially in urban areas. However, challenges persist, including safety concerns due to injuries and fatalities from accidents caused by unsafe practices and faulty designs. To address these issues, there is a growing demand for smart elevators and escalators that prioritize energy efficiency, vertical transport, and sustainable urban spaces. Building height and high-rise construction are key factors driving the market, with a focus on “Housing for all,” new installation in offices, malls, residential apartments, hotels, retail establishments, leisure parks, and more. Retrofitting projects are also gaining traction, as building owners look to upgrade existing systems to meet modern building codes and improve elevator traffic flow. In smaller cities, smart systems are being adopted to enhance energy savings and ensure safety in vertical transportation systems.

Fathom Applauds Introduction of the FRONTIER Act, the First Federal Blueprint for Independent AI Verification

Published

on

By

Reps. Lori Trahan (D-MA-03) and Jay Obernolte (R-CA-23) introduce a bill to build a competitive marketplace of independent verifiers for frontier AI models.

WASHINGTON, July 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Fathom welcomes the introduction of the FRONTIER Act, the most complete federal framework yet for independent, third-party verification of frontier AI. The legislation is built to earn public trust as AI technology continues to accelerate. As frontier systems begin to take autonomous action in the world, the gap between what these models can do and our ability to keep them in check is widening. FRONTIER is the starting point to close that gap.

“AI governance keeps running into the same wall. The technology is hard to measure and it moves faster than any law can keep up with,” said Andrew Freedman, Co-Founder and CEO of Fathom. “Trying to write the perfect rules and freezing them in place won’t work. What will work is a competitive market of independent verifiers who are accountable for real-world outcomes and who the government can actually count on. The FRONTIER Act shows we can move fast and still get this right.”

The bill gets the fundamentals correct. It sets one public standard – the adequate mitigation of catastrophic risk – and holds both the AI companies and their independent verifiers accountable to it. FRONTIER does not freeze a single testing method into statute. Instead, it licenses competing verification organizations, allows them to sharpen their methods, and gives the government the power to revoke a license when a verifier’s work does not hold up in the field. That is how you build a system that keeps pace with the science instead of falling behind it.

Fathom thanks Reps. Trahan and Obernolte for their leadership, and for their courage in releasing a discussion draft, inviting scrutiny, and incorporating substantive improvements from across the field. One priority improvement as the bill advances: giving the government a fuller range of tools to act upstream – for pushing companies to close identified gaps in risk mitigation early, rather than only once a catastrophe is imminent. We are committed to working with these sponsors, committees of jurisdiction, and Congressional leadership to continue refining the bill in the weeks and months ahead.

About Fathom
Fathom is an independent nonprofit whose mission is to build a governance architecture that helps society navigate the transition to a world with AI by fostering trust, safety, and innovation. Fathom has developed and championed the independent verification model for AI and works with policymakers across the country to put it into practice. Learn more at http://fathom.org.
