In a landmark move that positions India at the forefront of next-generation aerospace innovation, Andhra Pradesh has announced the establishment of the world’s largest eVTOL Sky Factory in Anantapur, backed by a massive ₹1,300-crore investment. This giga-factory is set to redefine the future of urban mobility and elevate India as a global leader in electric flight technology.
The upcoming facility will specialize in producing eVTOL (electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing) aircraft, a rapidly emerging technology aimed at revolutionizing transportation with zero-emission, low-noise, and high-efficiency aerial mobility solutions. Designed to be one of the most advanced aerospace manufacturing hubs in the world, the plant is projected to manufacture up to 1,000 eVTOL aircraft annually by 2029.
Spread across a large industrial zone, the Sky Factory will house cutting-edge R&D laboratories, design studios, testing centers, and a dedicated 2-kilometer runway for flight trials and prototypes. These facilities will support everything from conceptual design and component fabrication to full-scale assembly and real-time testing of next-gen electric aircraft.
Industry experts believe this project will not only create thousands of direct and indirect jobs but will also position India among the global pioneers in sustainable aviation technology. By investing in eVTOL development at such scale, Andhra Pradesh is taking a bold step toward shaping the future of urban air mobility, offering potential solutions for congestion, rapid emergency response, intercity transit, and eco-friendly short-distance travel.
With governments and private companies worldwide racing to develop electric aerial vehicles, the Anantapur Sky Factory places India firmly on the world map as a serious contender in the aerospace revolution. As the facility began gaining global attention, analysts hailed the project as a transformative milestone in the nation’s technological and industrial growth.
