Skye Air and Siddha Sejal Group Launch Drone Delivery Services in Mumbai
Mumbai, Nov 13 (PTI) Drone logistics solution provider Skye Air has announced a strategic partnership with the city-based real estate firm Siddha Sejal Group to offer drone-enabled delivery services in residential premises.
As part of the collaboration, Skye Air will launch the first drone delivery infrastructure in Mumbai for the Siddha Sky project. The first Skye-Pod installation will be set up at the Siddha Sky residential project in Wadala, where residents will receive daily essentials, packages, and e-commerce orders via drones within the premises.
A designated Skye-Pod zone will be established inside the complex to ensure safe and seamless collection. Each drone can cover 1 km in just 60 seconds with a maximum range of 30 km, providing residents with doorstep deliveries within minutes, the company said.
The first phase of these delivery services is expected to commence in the first quarter of 2026, making it Mumbai's first residential drone delivery initiative, Skye Air added.
We are excited to announce our strategic partnership with Siddha Sejal Group, marking a defining step in shaping the future of drone-powered deliveries in Mumbai. With Advanced Skye-Pods and AI-based route optimization via Skye UTM, we are setting a new benchmark for tech-enabled urban mobility, said Ankit Kumar, Founder and CEO, Skye Air.
Partnering with Skye Air aligns with our vision of smart, sustainable, and future-focused real estate. This initiative not only improves convenience but also supports Mumbai's evolution into a cleaner, more efficient urban ecosystem, Dhirraj Gada, Director, Sejal Group, said.
Mumbai, like most major metros, faces mounting challenges from traffic congestion, delivery delays, and increasing carbon emissions. With over 5 lakh daily last-mile deliveries across the city, traditional logistics systems are struggling to keep pace with demand, Eshaan Khullar, Vice President, Skye Air, said.
This innovative solution aims to address these challenges by providing a faster, more efficient, and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional delivery methods. The integration of drone technology in residential complexes is expected to revolutionize the way residents receive their daily essentials and packages, enhancing the overall living experience in urban areas.
