CII partners with Hunch Mobility for Urban Air Mobility Expo 2025
Following the success of ASHA Conference in 2023, the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), an association of Indian industry, in strategic partnership with Hunch Mobility, is set to host the Urban Air Mobility Expo 2025, from January 19 to January 22, 2025, in Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh.
In a press statement, CII says that the four-day expo will be a part of the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025, a global mobility solutions platform and will showcase cutting-edge technologies in UAVs, drones, eVTOL aircraft, and Advanced Short Haul Air Mobility. The event will also serve as a platform for the global UAM community to network, explore partnerships, and collaborate on innovative solutions that will define the future of urban transportation.
Attendees will get a chance to experience live demonstrations of eVTOLs and drones, alongside exhibits from leading OEMs and suppliers.
“The Urban Air Mobility Expo 2025 represents a crucial milestone in India’s journey toward revolutionary urban transportation solutions,” says Amit Dutta, Chairman CII Task Force on Advanced Air Mobility and MD, Hunch Mobility.
“India’s unique landscape and diverse mobility needs make it the perfect environment for pioneering Urban Air Mobility (UAM) innovations. As urbanisation accelerates, this platform will drive solutions to critical challenges like congestion and pollution. By blending global expertise with local innovation, we are not just imagining the future of mobility, we are actively creating it,” he adds.
The statement adds that the event will also feature conferences addressing critical industry topics, including policy frameworks, ecosystem development, and regulatory roadmaps along with other crucial subjects such as UAM policy development, infrastructure requirements, manufacturing opportunities, and urban air traffic management systems.
CII says that India, which is the third largest global aviation market with 341.05 million passengers, is also emerging as a significant hub for UAM innovation, paving the way for a transformative shift in the mobility sector. The industry association adds that the country’s commitment to electric air mobility and the increasing use of UAVs in areas like precision agriculture, infrastructure inspection, and disaster management highlight its readiness for technological advancement.
