Indian eVTOL manufacturer ePlane reports in a Linkedin post its Type Certification Application has been officially accepted by the DGCA, the country’s aviation regulator.
The company aims to launch its eVTOL services by 2026 and is targeting the movement of over 500,000 people daily within three years, say media reports.
According to The Hindu:
“Satya Chakravarthy, Founder of The ePlane Company, said this marks a significant step forward for Indian aviation and highlights India’s commitment to fostering innovative, sustainable air mobility solutions. “Together, we are paving the way for a cleaner, safer, and more connected future. ePlane spent the last 18 months since it received the Design Organisation Approval from the DGCA in May 2023 preparing for this moment, working with stakeholders to develop operational frameworks, forge partnerships, and build the infrastructure needed to support eVTOL services,” he said.
