India's drone manufacturing sector is rapidly emerging as a key player globally, bolstered by strong government support, advanced technology, and increasing demand from critical industries like defense, agriculture, logistics, and surveillance. The nation aims to become a global drone hub by leveraging its skilled engineers and cost-effective manufacturing.
The Indian drone market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 10-12% by 2025, reaching a value of over $1.8 billion, driven by agriculture, infrastructure, logistics, mining, and defense sectors. The introduction of the Drone Rules 2021 has simplified operations, reducing barriers for manufacturers and operators. Initiatives like Atmanirbhar Bharat (Self-Reliant India) and the Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme offer essential support, with incentives up to INR120 crores over three years.
Indigenous drones are being developed for military use, including surveillance and reconnaissance,
