A recent report by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) is evaluating a possible air corridor connecting Gurugram, Connaught Place in central Delhi, and the upcoming Noida International Airport at Jewar. This route covers busy zones that face heavy traffic every day and can reduce long road journeys to under 30 minutes, compared to the current 2.5 hours by road.
This latest report, titled “Navigating the Future of Advanced Air Mobility in India,” was launched by Civil Aviation Minister Rammohan Naidu Kinjarapu.
The CII report said Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) is rapidly emerging as a transformative paradigm in next-generation urban transport, promising to address the twin challenges of traffic congestion and inefficient urban connectivity.
“By establishing a flagship pilot corridor connecting Gurugram, Connaught Place, and Jewar International Airport, India can leapfrog traditional infrastructure bottlenecks and position itself as a global leader in Advanced Air Mobility. This initiative offers a high-impact solution to urban congestion by slashing transit times from hours to minutes, while simultaneously driving India’s Net-Zero 2070 goals through zero-emission eVTOL technology,” the CII report said.
In addition, it also explores how electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft can provide a clean, high-speed alternative to traditional road and rail transportation.
