Explore drone export opportunities, says Dubey
Young entrepreneurs and startups have been invited to actively participate in the drone industry development as the government aims to make India a drone capital of the world.
Extending the invitation, Amber Dubey, Joint Secretary, Ministry of Civil Aviation, said, “Entrepreneurs should focus on Agriculture, Disaster Management, Healthcare, Logistics, Law Enforcement and Infrastructure sectors that offer great opportunities for drones.
“Entrepreneurs should also look at innovation and reducing costs, and should also explore opportunities in export markets.”
The industry should also focus on counter-drone technology as well, he told the FICCI webinar on ‘Aerial Mapping of Villages Using Drones’ on 26 June 2020.
Dubey informed that the government will soon come out with guidelines on night-time operations for drones on an experimental basis.
The event also witnessed a discussion on the potential of capacity building, skill development and training in the use of drones. fiinews.com
