InterGlobe Enterprises (IGE), the parent company of IndiGo, has partnered with US-based Archer Aviation to introduce an all-electric air taxi service in India by 2026. Focused on reducing ground travel congestion in major cities like Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru, the partnership aims to operate Archer’s electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft called “Midnight.” The IGE-Archer collaboration plans to finance up to 200 Midnight aircraft for the Indian market, offering a low-noise and cost-competitive alternative to ground transportation. Regulatory approvals are essential for electric air taxi operations in India, and the partnership is also exploring other use cases, including cargo, logistics, medical services, and more.
