This collaboration aims to combat climate change, support India's net zero goals, and revolutionize urban transportation. The initiative promises eco-friendly, efficient, and versatile transport solutions for urban and emergency use.

Darsh Dronobotics Systems on Saturday revealed its collaboration with Canada-based Trouvé Innovation Hub Inc. to develop a hydrogen-powered five-seater air taxi.

The partnership focuses on addressing climate change and reducing carbon emissions in the mobility and aviation sectors, as stated by the company.

Vjaitra Air Mobility, a subsidiary of Darsh Dronobotics Systems Pvt Ltd, announced the strategic partnership with Trouvé Innovation Hub Inc. to support India's ambition to lead in the air taxi revolution by 2025.

Ratandeep Tripathi, CEO of Vjaitra Air Mobility, emphasized that fundraising and innovation support are crucial for bringing the hydrogen-based air taxi to life, aligning with sustainable and cutting-edge transportation solutions.

The air taxis promise quieter flights, zero emissions, and reduced operating costs compared to conventional aircraft. They will cover distances up to 600 kilometers, making travel between major cities viable.

Trouvé Innovation Hub will leverage its extensive network of private investors and institutional support to secure the required funding for the project, accelerating development toward commercialization.

Given India's rapid urban expansion, the air taxis offer a solution to challenges like congested roads and pollution, providing a necessary alternative for urban and emergency transportation needs.

Beyond passenger transport, the air taxi also aims to serve ambulance services, VIP escorts, and disaster recovery operations, enhancing urban air mobility and emergency response capabilities.
