India’s ePlane Company and the country’s International Critical-Care Air Transfer Team (ICATT) have signed a memorandum of understanding earlier today to deploy 788 eVTOL air ambulances, “marking the largest initial agreement in the eVTOL industry valued at over USD1 billion,” said ePlane in a Linkedin post. “This partnership will enable rapid emergency response across every district in India,” said the company. “At the core is the e200x eVTOL, with rooftop take-off capability and the power to transport patients seven times faster than road vehicles.”
Prof. Satya Chakravarthy, Founder, the ePlane Company said: “This collaboration is a monumental step in expanding aerial medical services. Faster airlifts will bridge the gap between accident sites and medical facilities—reducing fatalities and improving accessibility.”
Dr Shalini Nalwad, Founder, ICATT, said: “This is going to be a very good solution in terms of organ air-lifts. 95% of the registered patient recipients die before they get an organ. This is purely because of the lack of logistics, not due to lack of donors. This collaboration is going to solve this problem and redefine access to healthcare in India”
