URBAN AIR MOBILITY (UAM) IS RAPIDLY GAINING TRACTION in India, as forward-thinking companies seek to address the challenges posed by population density and congestion through innovative solutions. The potential for electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing (eVTOL) aircraft is particularly promising in this context. Recent announcements by key players underscore the emergence of India as a significant market for UAM initiatives.
Earlier this month, InterGlobe Enterprises, the parent company of IndiGo, announced plans to launch an all-electric taxi air service in India in partnership with Archer, a US-based eVTOL aircraft-maker. The service aims to improve urban mobility by providing a low-noise, sustainable, and cost-competitive alternative to ground transportation. A leading California-based electric air taxi company, Archer Aviation, is backed by the likes of Boeing, United Airlines and auto major Stellantis. The partnership plans to finance the purchase of up to 200 of Archer’s electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft — Midnight — for the India operations.
