What if your daily one-hour commute could shrink to just seven minutes? What if flying across the city became as normal as booking a cab?
That future isn’t far away — it’s 2026.
IndiGo’s parent company, InterGlobe Enterprises, in partnership with US-based Archer Aviation, is gearing up to launch India’s first electric air-taxi service, marking one of the biggest leaps in urban mobility the country has ever seen.
What Exactly Is an Electric Air Taxi?
Think of it as a sleek, futuristic aircraft that:
- Takes off and lands vertically.
- Runs 100% on electricity
- Carries 4 passengers + 1 pilot
- Produces minimal noise
- Emits zero pollution
InterGlobe and Archer plan to introduce up to 200 eVTOL aircraft across major metros.
The rollout will begin with:
- Delhi–NCR
- Mumbai
- Bengaluru
This means some of the world’s most congested urban zones could soon have aerial corridors for quick hops from one point to another. A route that currently takes 60–90 minutes by road could soon take just 7 minutes by air.
India is on the verge of becoming one of the first major countries to integrate electric air taxis into daily life.
