Indian Government has banned the import of drones with immediate effect. The Civil Aviation ministry said on Wednesday that the move is to promote domestically-made drones. India plans to emerge as a global drone hub by 2030.
According to Ministry of Civil Aviation–” In order to promote Made in India drones, import of foreign drones has been prohibited by DGFT with immediate effect on 9.2.2022. Exceptions have been provided for import of drones for R&D, defence and security purposes; but with due clearances. Import of drone components, however, shall not require any approvals. With the liberalised Drone Rules, 2021 (notified on 25th Aug 21), drone airspace map (24th Sep 21), drone PLI scheme (30th Sep 21). UTM policy framework (24th Oct 21), drone certification scheme (26th Jan 22) and single window DigitalSky Platform (26th Jan 22) in place, this is a good time to invest in the Indian drone industry.”
