Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025: The problem of traffic jam has become common in the country’s big cities like Mumbai-Delhi-Kolkata. But soon this problem is going to be solved.
The country’s first prototype air taxi was introduced at ‘Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025’. This taxi has been named ‘Zero’. HD Kumaraswamy, Minister of Steel and Heavy Industries, Government of India, visited the Sarla Aviation booth and showed keen interest in the prototype of the flying taxi and called it historic.
