Skye Air, Siddha Sejal Sign MoU to Pilot Mumbai’s First Residential Drone Deliveries in Early 2026

The Wadala pilot centers on a Skye-Pod at Siddha Sky using AI-managed flight paths to accelerate last-mile deliveries.

Overview

  • Skye Air and Siddha Sejal Group have agreed to launch a pilot at Siddha Sky in Wadala, with service targeted for the first quarter of 2026.
  • Residents will collect orders from a designated Skye-Pod inside the housing complex rather than receiving balcony landings.
  • Skye Air cites drones covering 1 km in about 60 seconds, a range up to 30 km, and its Skye Ship One carrying up to 10 kg via planned Skye Tunnel corridors.
  • Routes will be coordinated through Skye UTM, the company’s AI-based system described as a low-altitude traffic manager.
  • The company frames the pilot as easing traffic and emissions in a city handling roughly 500,000 last-mile deliveries daily, noting claimed operations in Delhi-NCR and Bengaluru with partners such as Flipkart, Bluedart and Shiprocket.
