The Solar impulse 2 touched down at Ahmedabad airport in Gujarat about 16 hours after it took off from Muscat, Oman, for the 1,
The world's first aircraft powered by solar energy was to remain in Ahmedabad for two days before flying to the holy city of Varanasi on Saturday.
The swiss pilots Bertrand Piccard and Andre Boschberg, are taking turns at the controls of the aircraft during their 35,000-kilometer (21,700-mile) journey.
The aircraft's wings are covered by more than 17,000 solar cells that recharge the plane's batteries.
It flies ideally at around 25 knots, or 45 kph (28 mph). On Monday, Borschberg, who co-founded the Solar impulse company that built the plane,
flew the Si2 from Abu dhabi, the capital of United arab emirates, to nearby Oman in the first leg of the epic journey.
Both pilots have been training hard for this journey, which will span 25 flight days over five months.
