NEW DELHI :
 
PRIME Minister Narendra Modi stepped in to remove “regulatory hurdles” in a project to fly a small experimental aircraft build indigenously, the Prime Minister’s Office said on Monday. On Sunday, the Prime Minister met a young innovator Amol Yadav.
 
A pilot by profession, he had taken up the initiative of manufacturing of small aircrafts in India. During a ‘Make in India’ event in Mumbai in February 2016, Yadav had showcased his idea for building a fully indigenous model of a small experimental aircraft. “However, the project ran into a few delays, including receiving a ‘Right to Fly’ for the experimental project,” the PMO said in a series of tweets. The PMO also posted a picture of the single-engine aircraft developed by Yadav.
