Mughilan Thiru Ramasamy, CEO & Co-founder Skylark Drones
“The Government has taken a serious paradigm shift towards the drone industry. The introduction of new drone rules to the launch of the PLI scheme for drone manufacturing and the recent announcement on Drone Shakti and Kisan Drones are a testament to the government's vision and focus towards making India the drone hub.
For the drone ecosystem to flourish and for innovative new use cases to emerge, access to high-quality and economically priced drone hardware is critical. As 90% of drones used in India are imported, it will be curious to see how the industry adapts and addresses this development which could temporarily at least, derail some well-laid plans. It would have been welcome if the government offered some incentives to the industry to override this.
We have the talent and the manpower to make drones an independent and self-reliant industry, but the current ban will upend the ecosystem for some time. However, it will also play a critical role in realizing the government's vision of making India a global drone hub.
What is perhaps equally important is for policymakers to also consider a regulatory mechanism that favours and promotes Indian software to be used for all drone operations across sectors.
Given the sensitive nature of drone operations, it is imperative that India develop its software for use within the country and subsequently also in other regions. With the talent and expertise, we have in the country, India can soon rule the drone software market by developing software that is made in India for the world. India’s software industry is more than capable of doing this and it would be an opportunity for Indian software companies to become the Microsoft of the drone industry.”
