Combining Strengths to Deliver Green Transit Solutions

This partnership underscores our commitment to driving innovation in transport infrastructure. Together with iSky Transport, we aim to develop scalable urban mobility models that can redefine public transportation in India.”

A spokesperson from iSky Transport added:

Our goal is to bring cutting-edge transit technologies to India’s cities. With RITES’s unmatched infrastructure expertise, we are confident of accelerating deployment of future-ready transport networks.”

Key Focus Areas of the MoU:

  • Urban mobility projects using Suspended String Rail Technology (SSRT)
