Saying that air taxies and sky taxies are the future of the country, the Union minister expressed hope that India will become the world’s ‘drone capital’ by 2030.
The project is part of India’s first organized Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) trials with multiple drone consortiums participating to establish the use-case of long-range drone-based medical deliveries.
