Murlidhar Mohol, minister of State for Civil Aviation, talked of how the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) has an Advanced Air Mobility Study Group to understand its workings, make the most of it, and deal with its potential impact on the aviation ecosystem. Mentioning all this, he said, “In tandem with that, DGCA has also constituted internal working groups for studying various aspects related to operation of eVTOL to assess and develop appropriate regulations/requirements suitable for India.”

The set-up groups will now study relevant regulations in other countries and civil aviation authorities and develop the appropriate action plan to maximize eVTOL operations in India.
