Nalwa Aero

Nalwa Aero Private Limited gives that Mohali address. Urban Air Mobility News reported on 27 October 2026 that chief executive Kuljeet Sandhu said a scaled box-wing eVTOL had hovered and flown forward with all-tilting rotors, and quoted him calling it a world-first at that scale. That claim is his. A company release republished by idrw.org on 29 October 2026 says the trials showed low-altitude hover and forward flight, and says the company received DGCA Design Organisation Approval in June 2025 for eVTOL aircraft in the five-seat-and-above category and acceptance of a type-certification application in January 2026. A design organisation approval is not a type certificate. Acceptance of an application is not a type certificate. The website lists figures for an aircraft it calls Nalwa Aphulas, including eight tilting propulsion units, a 1000 kg payload and a 450 km electric range or 1500 km-plus with hybrid hydrogen. It does not say those figures were measured on the scaled flight. No flight duration, altitude, scale ratio, price or order is stated.
