VJAITRA Air Mobility is an innovative Indian aerospace company at the forefront of the advanced air mobility (AAM) revolution. Focused on the development of next-generation vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft, VJAITRA is addressing critical urban and regional transportation challenges through sustainable and scalable air mobility solutions. The company’s portfolio includes both electric and hydrogen-powered VTOLs designed for passenger and cargo transport, emphasizing clean energy and operational efficiency. Among its flagship developments the V-600x hydrogen-powered variant capable of reaching up to 600 kilometers. These models aim to serve high-demand routes, such as airport feeder services connecting major metros like Delhi, Noida, Mumbai, and Bengaluru. Additionally, VJAITRA is spearheading India’s first hydrogen-powered air taxi initiative, combining technological innovation with climate-conscious transport infrastructure. VJAITRA’s growth strategy includes forming strong ecosystem collaborations, such as aircraft leasing partnerships with ModAir Aviation and a significant LOI with UrtriO Aviation for the procurement of 25 hydrogen VTOLs. The company is also incubated at prestigious institutions like IIM Lucknow and IIT Kanpur, strengthening its R&D capabilities and market credibility. Beyond passenger mobility, VJAITRA is diversifying into agricultural drone solutions with its KM-10 model. This drone is equipped with dual spraying systems, AI-enabled precision agriculture tools, and 5G connectivity, aligning with government initiatives like the Drone Didi Scheme to support rural economies and sustainable farming practices. As a thought leader in green aviation, VJAITRA is actively participating in national-level forums on hydrogen energy and advanced mobility. The company’s efforts are strategically aligned with India’s green hydrogen mission and broader goals for decarbonizing the transportation sector. With a vision to expand into international markets—particularly the Middle East, Europe, and the USA—VJAITRA is also engaging with experienced global aviation professionals and strategic investors to scale its operations and commercial deployments. Through its integrated approach combining indigenous innovation, environmental responsibility, and forward-thinking partnerships, VJAITRA Air Mobility is poised to redefine the future of air transport.
