Drones are quite popular in many of the developed countries and are being used across various industries complementing the human workforce. However, the usage of the drones is still in the nascent stage in India. Having said that, the drone industry in India is picking pace with the boost from government initiatives.
In order to enhance the prospects of the drone industry in India, the Government of India recently announced the PLI scheme for drones and drone components manufacturing. Under the scheme, the government sanctioned an amount of Rs. 120 crores to be provided as incentives to the drone and drone component manufacturers. As per the government, the PLI scheme would help to attract around Rs. 5,000 crores in the next three years and generate more than 10,000 employment opportunities in the drone industry across the value chain.
