Analysis based on 7 articles · First reported Jun 29, 2026 · Last updated Jun 29, 2026
The extension of the drone ban by Pakistan may slightly impact businesses involved in drone sales, services, and event management within the province, potentially leading to reduced demand for outdoor drone activities. However, the overall market impact is expected to be minimal as the ban is a continuation of existing restrictions.
The Pakistan government, through its India — Home Department, Punjab, has extended the ban on outdoor drone flying for another 30 days across the province. This decision, made under Section 144 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1898, is based on prevailing security concerns and aims to ensure public safety, maintain law and order, and protect public and private assets. While outdoor drone operations remain prohibited, the limited use of small drones is permitted for indoor events in halls and marquees, with organizers responsible for safe operation. Intelligence and law enforcement agencies are exempt from this restriction. District administrations and police authorities have been directed to strictly enforce these orders.
