FIL Industries Private Limited, the parent company of Empyrean Skyview Projects that pioneered ropeway mobility solutions in India with Jammu’s Skyview Gondola, is currently developing the Dehradun-Mussoorie ropeway and is on track to complete Phase I by September 2026.

The ropeway is set to be India’s most extended passenger aerial mono cable, covering 5.8 km between the foothills of Dehradun in Purkulgam and the MDDA taxi stand in the hills of Mussoorie in just under 20 minutes.

The firm pioneered green mobility solutions in India with the development of the flagship Skyview Gondola in Jammu, which connects Sanget Valley to Patnitop. FIL Industries Private Limited has also secured the 3.8 km Yamunotri aerial ropeway project, which will connect Yamunotri with Kharsali in Uttarakhand.

“The Skyview Gondola in Jammu represents the perfect blend of world-class collaborations, sustainability, safety, hospitality, and technological innovation. “We aim to implement our best practices across all our ongoing ropeway projects to raise the bar and empower India to lead the green mobility solutions space globally. We remain focused on delivering world-class infrastructure while uplifting local communities,” said Syed Junaid Altaf, Executive Director, FIL Industries Private Limited.

The brand collaborates with top global players like POMA, E.R.I.C Ropeways, MND Group, Sage Geotech Inc., and Dianeige Mountain Design to ensure cutting-edge technology and adherence to international standards in infrastructure development- setting a benchmark for lifestyle and adventure destinations in India. Skyview by Empyrean is the largest Indo-French Mountain tourism project, featuring 18 cabins, each with a capacity of accommodating eight adults. The project team cut no trees during the construction and planted over 8,000 saplings in the nearby area.

Skyview by Empyrean upholds the highest safety standards through advanced technology, international certifications, and a team of certified engineers who have undergone rigorous training to perform efficiently and by global industry standards. They use specialized tools from France that adhere to CEN standards, ensuring safe and compliant maintenance practices for operations and maintenance. Our team conducts over 200 daily pre-start checks to ensure full compliance. We inspect all towers before starting commercial operations, achieving zero missed inspections. Annual third-party certifications validate ongoing safety, and with 0% unplanned maintenance breakdowns, the ropeway achieves 364 days of uninterrupted operations annually. Preventive maintenance is rigorously followed across weekly to annual intervals, ensuring optimal system performance and reliability.

Monthly rescue drills are conducted with the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) to ensure constant preparedness for manual evacuation scenarios. Trained by Gamesystem France, a global leader in evacuation solutions, rescuers certified by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) lead these drills. In addition to conducting the drills, certified trainers provide hands-on training to NDRF personnel in equipment handling and evacuation procedures, reinforcing operational readiness and safety.

Skyview by Empyrean, the 22-acre mountain harbour established in Jammu, recently won the FICCI Excellence Award for Maintenance Systems for its adherence to global safety standards and innovative practices. The Responsible Tourism Society of India (RTSOI) has also certified the company as India’s first sustainable tourism destination.

The Indian ropeway sector is undergoing a monumental shift with the announcement of the Parvatmala Pariyojana by the Government of India, which aims to enhance last-mile connectivity in remote and hilly regions.
