Adani, RIL units keen to scale up drone production

At least four companies, including Jio Platforms-owned Asteria Aerospace, Adani NSE 2.06 % Defence and Aerospace, ideaForge Technology and Dynamatic Technologies have evinced interest in scaling up the manufacture or assembly of drones in the country, three people with knowledge of the matter told ET.

The development is in sync with India’s liberalised rules for the drone industry, which Prime Minister Narendra Modi hailed as a “landmark” moment for the country. The government is also evaluating a proposal to include the drone industry under its successful production-linked incentive (PLI) scheme, sources said.
