I had to run from pillar to post in the DGCA for registration to conduct trials. The mindset was that we cannot build an aircraft in India. I wanted to change that. My dream got entangled into red tape. I displayed my aircraft during Make in India Summit in Mumbai in 2016 and since then the Maharashtra government has shown keen interest.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Yadav also had to face a lot of financial constraints during the entire procedure of building his first indigenously made aircraft.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We have airstrips in almost every District place in Maharashtra. This system has been in existence since the British era. But in last 70 years we have not built aircrafts to make use of them. My aircraft with a carrying capacity of 19 passengers needs a smaller runway. So this will help in a great way in regional air connectivity,&#8221; Yadav added.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If everything goes well, my first aircraft will be ready in next 4 to 5 month. Then its upto the government to speed up the necessary permissions,&#8221; Yadav said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ALSO WATCH |\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatoday.in\/india\/video\/mumbai-based-pilot-assembles-historic-aircraft-440477-2016-03-16\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mumbai based pilot assembles historic aircraft<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"multy-video-iframe\" src=\"https:\/\/www.indiatoday.in\/video\/India\/embed\/NDQwNDc3\" width=\"648\" height=\"500\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"clearfix\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"agbutton story-like-dislike\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Maharashtra government signs Rs 35,000 crore MoU with man who built aircraft on his rooftop Kamlesh Damodar Sutar Mumbai February 19, 2018 HIGHLIGHTS Rs 35,000 crore MoU with Yadav&#8217;s company &#8216;Thrust Aircraft Pvt Ltd&#8217; has been signed.
