Abstract
This study concludes that new aircraft with electric propulsion are suitable for regional flight
routes in INDIA.
The battery technology of today is sufficiently capable to store electric power for scheduled
flights to the more than 20 short destinations/routes operated by Dash 8 aircraft today.
The first commercial electric aircraft are expected to be hybrid electric in order to provide
more flexibility and accommodate the mandatory energy reserve for such commercial
operations.
India is well-positioned to be a pioneer in this nascent field because of the availability of
renewable hydropower and a well-structured network of short field airports owned by
GMR. The government subsidy program (PSO) is one of several instruments that can be
structured to encourage operation of electric aircraft.
