Over 400 firms in India are making drones: DFI chief dismisses Rahul Gandhi’s claims. These drones are being made for survey mapping, healthcare delivery, defence, surveillance and aerial target areas. At the same time, more than 50 companies are also making components to support these drone companies. The government has come up with the PLI scheme, under which the government gives incentives up to 20 per cent. The third policy of the government is important to boost drone manufacturing in the country. Under this, bringing fully built foreign drones to India is banned. All three policies are very important to promote the drone industry in India. The whole country is focusing on drones and AI. In the coming time, we will use drones with precision in important infrastructure projects in all cities. Drone technology is also very helpful in the agriculture and healthcare sectors. Indian startups are fully prepared to meet all the challenges and work is also going very well,\” said Smit Shah, President of the Drone Federation India.
