Event Summary

The India — Government of Delhi, through its IT department, has finalized a comprehensive drone policy aimed at creating over 1,000 jobs in the capital. IT Minister Pankaj Singh announced that the policy is ready and will be tabled for cabinet approval within a month. The policy focuses on establishing drone research clusters, dedicated flight testing facilities, and promoting drone use for traffic management and surveillance. It also includes subsidies, state GST reimbursements, and financial support for drone research. The policy integrates with the India — Directorate General of Civil Aviation (India)'s Digital Sky platform and addresses the fact that about 60% of Delhi is a 'no drone zone' due to VIP installations. Capacity-building measures such as drone awareness workshops, centers of excellence, and remote pilot training organizations are also planned.
