n a recent development today, Ministry of Civil Aviation has announced to ban import of drones with immediate effect. With regards to this we would like to share the reactions from Mr. Vipul Singh, Founder and CEO, Aarav Unmanned Systems (AUS):
“Very encouraging news for the India drone ecosystem. With so many socially impactful use cases across the country, how long can we rely on borrowed technology and expertise? We see this import ban as a powerful step in making India self-reliant. And there is a huge potential for India to become a big exporter of drone technology in the near future. We are definitely on track to enable more technology creation in India and truly Make in India”.
