In July 2010 India’s paragliding community came together to form a National Association for the sport, the Paragliding Association of India.

The main objective of the association is to provide a national platform for the paragliding community in India and to promote, develop, control and regulate the sports of Paragliding and Paramotoring.

The PAI’s first general meeting took place in Mumbai on 17th July 2010. A Managing Committee was democratically elected to administrate the association and a Technical Committee for flying and safety. A second meeting is planned for 27 August at Yelagiri.
