From Cars To Drones, Air Taxis: Maruti Suzuki To Expand Into Future Mobility

One of the most talked-about developments under this new business strategy is the collaboration between Maruti's parent company, Suzuki Motor Corporation and Japanese firm SkyDrive Maruti Suzuki India Limited (MSIL), the country's largest passenger vehicle manufacturer, is gearing up to shift gears; this time, quite literally into the skies. The company is diversifying beyond conventional petrol and diesel cars with a bold new foray into drones, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and electric air taxis. In a major strategic pivot, Maruti Suzuki's board has approved an ambitious plan to enter advanced mobility sectors, a move formalised through a recently signed Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). These proposals were cleared at a board meeting held on July 31, 2025, and will be presented for shareholder approval at the upcoming Annual General Meeting (AGM) on August 28, 2025. The proposed expansion will see Maruti Suzuki step into futuristic domains such as EV charging infrastructure, car leasing services, and certified used car sales. The company also intends to play a key role in developing next-generation technologies and allied services like vehicle testing, R&D support, and supply chain management. This marks a decisive shift from Maruti's traditional role as an automaker into a broader mobility service provider. The move also aligns with growing global interest in green transport and urban air mobility solutions. One of the most talked-about developments under this new business strategy is the collaboration between Maruti's parent company, Suzuki Motor Corporation, and Japanese firm SkyDrive. The partnership, formalised in June 2023, focuses on manufacturing the SkyDrive SD-05, a next-generation electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft. SkyDrive's SD-05 is built for short urban commutes, capable of flying up to 15 km with a top speed of 100 kmph. Known for its safety, cost-efficiency, and zero-emission design, it represents the cutting edge of Advanced Air Mobility (AAM), sometimes referred to as Urban Air Mobility (UAM). SD-05 Aircraft Debut At Vibrant Gujarat Summit The SD-05 aircraft made its Indian debut at the 10th Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit (VGGS) held from January 10 to 12, 2024. A 1:5 scale model of the eVTOL was showcased at the event, symbolising the beginning of India's journey into urban air mobility, with Maruti Suzuki at the helm. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
