Air Taxis In Delhi's Future? New Master Plan Makes First Mention
· Automobile · NDTV, Zee News
Delhi’s draft master plan includes provisions for air taxis, marking the first official mention of urban air mobility in the city’s planning documents. The plan envisions a network of vertiports for electric vertical-takeoff-and-landing (eVTOL) aircraft by 2041, aiming to ease traffic congestion. The proposal follows global trends but requires regulatory approvals, infrastructure development, and public acceptance before implementation. The exact routes, operators, or technical specifications remain undefined. No specific budget or timeline has been announced for pilot projects.
