Mussoorie Sky Car to Launch India’s Longest Passenger Ropeway

13 May 2025 CW Team

Mussoorie Sky Car is a consortium comprising three leading players in the urban mobility and infrastructure sectors: FIL Industries Private Limited, POMA SAS, and SRM Engineering LLP.

FIL Industries is a diversified business enterprise with interests in agriculture, F&B, tourism, ropeway mobility solutions, and hospitality. It is also India’s largest CEN-certified ropeway operator, and is known for its flagship project, Skyview by Empyrean, which has been operational since 2019 in Sanget–Patnitop, Jammu and Kashmir. The ropeway spanning 2.8 km, is currently the highest ropeway in India in terms of ground clearance. Over the years, the mountain harbour has established itself as a benchmark for sustainable mobility and tourism infrastructure in the country.

SRM Engineering LLP brings a robust track record in financing, developing, and operating infrastructure assets across India, France, the UAE, and South Africa. Backed by the promoters of Rahman Group and Hindustan Dock Yard, SRM strengthens the project’s development and execution capabilities.

POMA SAS serves as the project’s technical partner, shareholder, and strategic supplier, reinforcing its long-term commitment to ropeway development in India. The Dehradun-Mussoorie ropeway marks POMA’s first concession investment in India and will be the first European-standard ropeway in the country, with a significant portion of the equipment being manufactured locally through POMA India.

“A collaboration like Mussoorie Sky Car will ensure that the project benefits from cutting-edge technology, global engineering expertise, European safety standards, and sustainable design. Together, we are building India’s longest and safest cable car system. Through world-class projects like this, our goal is to place India firmly on the global map as a hub for an advanced, fast, safe, and eco-friendly ropeway system,” said Syed Junaid Altaf – Group Executive Director, FIL Industries.

At the recently held leading international trade fair for alpine technologies, INTERALPIN’25 in Innsbruck, Austria, the three industry leaders introduced the project, officially marking the beginning of their collaboration and the initiation of the ropeways’ construction.

The consortium has also secured the prestigious Yamunotri Ropeway Project. Spanning 3.8 km between Yamunotri and Kharsali in Uttarakhand, the cable car will significantly open access to one of India’s most revered pilgrimage sites.

A new chapter in sustainable mountain tourism and urban mobility is about to unfold as Mussoorie Sky Car gears up to launch the highly anticipated Dehradun-Mussoorie ropeway. This cutting-edge mono-cable detachable gondola system will span 5.2 kilometres and ascend 1,000 meters, dramatically reducing travel time between Dehradun and Mussoorie to just 20 minutes. The construction of its initial phase it planned to be completed by September 2026. Once operational, it will be South Asia’s longest ropeway of its kind and one of the longest in the world—ushering in a new era of tourism, connectivity, and green infrastructure in the region.
