Later, the minister also launched VT-SBS, India's first dedicated skydiving aircraft.

On the four-seater aircraft Cessna-182P Skylane, imported from the USA, Shekhawat said it is exclusively configured for skydiving and marks a new chapter in India's aviation and adventure sports landscape.

The facility of the company Skyhigh India is located just two hours from Delhi at the Narnaul Airstrip in Haryana.

It is claimed to be the country's premier and only international skydiving drop zone.

The Director General for Civil Aviation (DGCA) is diligently working towards comprehensive regulations for aerosports, particularly skydiving to ensure a secure and thriving future for the sport.
