What's the future of drones in India?

16/07/2021 GMT

BBC World Service - WorklifeIndia, What's the future of drones in India?

Are drones about to become a more common sight in India's skies?

Across the world, drones are already being used to carry products, perform security surveillance or conduct warfare. It's becoming more common to hear the soft buzz of a drone flying overhead. India, which has so far trailed in adopting the technology, is now eager to ease norms and encourage the use of drones.

Does that mean getting your pizza delivered within 10 minutes with a drone flying in through your window? Would everyone welcome this trend? And how would it impact bigger scale applications in areas such as the military, healthcare and geospatial mapping?

In this edition of WorklifeIndia, we discuss how new policy rules could impact the drone industry's future.

Presenter: Devina Gupta

Contributors: Vipul Singh, co-founder, CEO, Aarav Unmanned Systems; Dr Ruchi Saxena, director, India Flying Labs; Smit Shah, director, Drone Federation of India
