Combining Strengths to Deliver Green Transit Solutions

Speaking on the occasion, a RITES official stated:

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)
  • Development of container logistics corridors and last-mile freight handling
  • Smart city transit integration with low environmental impact
