00:00 InterGold Enterprises, in collaboration with Arcar Aviation, announced its ambitious plan
00:07 to introduce an all-electric air taxi service across India by 2026.
00:14 The joint venture aims to significantly reduce travel time between Delhi's Connaught Place
00:19 and Gurugram in Haryana, covering the 7-kilometre route in just seven minutes.
00:25 The companies have formally entered into a memorandum of understanding expressing their
00:30 intent to launch and operate the air taxi service.
00:34 However, the success of the venture is contingent upon receiving appropriate regulatory approvals
00:40 and clearances, emphasising the need for adherence to aviation standards.
00:46 In addition to urban air taxi services, the partnership envisions expliciting diverse
00:52 applications for electrical aircraft in India.
00:55 These include cargo transport, logistics, medical and emergency services, as well as
01:01 private company and charter services.
01:04 The collaboration underscores a broader commitment to leveraging electric vertical take-off and
01:10 landing (EVTOL) technology for various purposes.
01:14 The initiative plans to utilise Arcar's Midnight Aircraft, a four-passenger design for rapid
01:19 back-to-back flights, with minimal charging time between each trip.
01:24 The ultimate goal is to revolutionise travel, particularly the 27-kilometre Delhi-Gurugram
01:30 route currently taking 60-90 minutes.
01:33 Rahul Bhatia, Interglobe's Group Managing Director, expressed excitement about introducing
01:39 Arcar's electric aircraft to India, highlighting the opportunity to provide an effective, heuristic
01:46 and sustainable transport solution.
01:48 Bhatia said, "Over the last two decades, Interglobe has been involved in providing
01:53 safe, efficient and affordable transportation to hundreds of millions of Indians across
01:59 the country.
02:00 We are excited at this new opportunity of bringing an effective, heuristic and sustainable
02:05 transport solution by introducing Arcar's electric aircraft to India."
02:10 Arcar Aviation's Chief Commercial Officer Nikhil Goyal emphasised India's substantial
02:15 potential for e-vital aircraft utilisation given its large population and urban congestion
02:21 challenges.
02:23 This initiative represents a significant stride in the evolution of air transportation in
02:28 the country.
