Hyderabad startup is making Indias hydrogen powered aircraft - BluJ Aero [XX7IdEVe9nx]
India loses $22 billion every year because of traffic. Not just in wasted time but in delayed ambulances, disrupted supply chains, and slower economic growth. That’s why India’s air mobility market is growing at nearly 25% CAGR and is projected to reach $4.2 billion by 2035. Most electric air taxis today rely on heavy batteries. But hydrogen could be the technology that takes them mainstream. Hydrogen fuel cells can enable flight ranges up to 6× longer, refuel in about 5 minutes, and produce zero emissions. That’s where BluJ Aero comes in. They’re building hydrogen-powered VTOL cargo aircraft designed for short-distance logistics helping move medical supplies, emergency equipment, and critical cargo faster by flying over traffic instead of through it. As this technology matures over the coming years, it could transform rescue operations, healthcare logistics, disaster response, and regional supply chains across India. Built entirely in Hyderabad, BluJ Aero has developed India’s largest privately built VTOL and is backed by T-Hub Hyderabad which has provided the mentorship, market access, and ecosystem support to help scale the company from concept to reality.
