The ePlane Company has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Noida International Airport to develop infrastructure and operational frameworks for advanced air mobility services, including electric air taxis and emergency air ambulance operations.
The agreement between Ubifly Technologies Private Limited, which operates as The ePlane Company, and Noida International Airport will cover the development of regulatory standard operating procedures (SOPs), vertiport management systems and the operational ecosystem required to deploy the company's flagship e200X electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft.

Under the agreement, Yamuna International Airport Private Limited (YIAPL) will allocate space within the airport premises for proof-of-concept trials, vertiports and charging stations. The airport will also align its operating procedures to accommodate eVTOL services.
The ePlane Company will work towards securing the necessary clearances from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) and the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS), while continuing to prototype and flight-test the e200X aircraft.
The two organisations will jointly engage with regulators, air traffic control authorities and state governments to establish safety frameworks, vertiport management systems and artificial intelligence-assisted fleet scheduling integrated with smart city systems.
The proposed infrastructure is intended to support airport-to-airport transit, intra-city commutes and emergency air ambulance services across the region.
The collaboration follows the public unveiling of the full-scale e200X PT-01 prototype. Ground testing of the aircraft is currently underway, with the agreement aimed at advancing ground operations and airspace integration alongside aircraft development.
Satyanarayanan Chakravarthy, founder and director of Ubifly Technologies (The ePlane Company), said, "Deploying electric air taxis requires more than just building the aircraft; it demands the parallel development of ground infrastructure, regulatory frameworks, and operational procedures."

"This MoU with Noida International Airport allows us to systematically validate our operational models using drone trials before transitioning to piloted e200X flights," he added.
Daniel Bircher, chairman of Noida International Airport, said, "Integrating Advanced Air Mobility into our airport framework is an important part of our commitment to seamless, multi-modal connectivity. We are pleased to collaborate with The ePlane Company on developing the ground infrastructure and operational SOPs required to deliver safe, zero-emission air transit and vital emergency services to Delhi-NCR."
Founded in 2019 and incubated at the IIT Madras Incubation Cell, The ePlane Company develops electric aircraft for advanced air mobility applications. Its flagship e200X aircraft has been accepted into the DGCA's type certification pipeline.
The company operates an integrated electric aircraft prototyping, manufacturing and testing facility at the IIT Madras Discovery Campus in Chennai and is developing solutions for air taxis, air ambulances and urban cargo transport.
