MoCA planning to bring eVTOL aircraft to India

MoCA is planning to bring electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft makers to the Indian market to explore the possibility of setting up a manufacturing base for such aircraft. MoCA has approached Beta Te­chnologies, which is in partnership with the Blade Group, to explore the Indian market for eVTOLs. The Blade Group already has a presence in India with its helicopter services. The US and Canadian air forces are al­ready deploying eVTOLs. Certification from the US Federal Aviation Ad­mi­nistration and the European Union Aviation Safety Agency will be sought once the proof of concept is obtained.
