What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The drone sector's revenue grew from Rs 60 crore in 2021 to Rs 4,000 crore in 2025, according to the Drone Federation chief. This growth is attributed to the Drone Rules Policy 2021, the Production Linked Incentives (PLI) scheme, and a ban on foreign drones. The chief stated that the industry is projected to become a Rs 19,000 to 20,000 crore sector in the coming years.
