Scope :

The Indian drone industry has witnessed significant growth in recent years, with a promising market size. According to industry reports and estimates, the Indian drone market is projected to reach substantial figures. Reports suggest that by 2026, the market size of the Indian drone industry could reach around $1.8 billion. Factors driving this growth include the increasing adoption of drones across various sectors such as agriculture, infrastructure, logistics, and surveillance. The Indian government's initiatives to promote drone usage, including regulatory liberalization and the introduction of the Digital Sky platform for drone registration, have further fueled the industry's expansion. The COVID-19 pandemic has also played a role in the growth of the drone market, with drones being utilized for contactless delivery, monitoring, and public safety measures. While market size estimates can vary, the overall trend indicates a positive trajectory for the Indian drone industry, with significant opportunities for innovation and development in the coming years.
