The biggest problem of metro cities is traffic jam. Hours of time are wasted in this and we wish that there is a vehicle in front of us that can fly and we can cross this traffic and get past it.
The time for your dream to come true is now very close because DGCA has given the green signal to Vertiports Rules and has issued guidelines for vertical takeoff and landing.
DGCA has issued guidelines regarding Vertical Takeoff and Landing (VTOL). DGCA’s initiative is in line with global efforts to standardize Electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing (EVTOL) certification. This is an important step to enable eVTOL operations in India. Currently VCA is powered by the electric system. This important step aims to streamline the certification process and ensure the safety and reliability of emerging EVTOL technologies in India.
This circular of DGCA has been issued after consultation with all stakeholders. This circular provides comprehensive safety requirements on design, manufacturing, structural strength, flight performance, equipment, power plant installation, flight crew interface and other information required for type certification of eVTOL aircraft. The eVTOL/AAM sector is evolving rapidly. Further changes in the proposed requirements are expected. This move is an important step towards the widespread implementation of Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) in India.

Let us tell you that last week, DGCA had issued an advisory circular on vertiports used by eVTOL. According to this, vertiports will be built on the lines of airports for air taxis. These vertiports will be designed in such a way that air taxis can do vertical take off and landing (VTOL) from here.
It will start from the capital Delhi
The first attempt to launch air taxi has been made by InterGlobe Enterprises, the parent company of the country’s largest airline IndiGo. According to the information, there is a plan to start Air Taxi from the country’s capital Delhi. After this, air taxi will be delivered to cities like Mumbai and Bangalore.
According to the rules, guidelines have been set for infrastructure, air taxi operational guidelines, battery charging, parking, landing and emergency response for vertiport. Vertiport will be given clearance only after following these rules.
