Drone service sector will provide one lakh jobs in 4-5 years: Scindia
The drone service sector holds tremendous promise and will provide about one lakh jobs in the next four-five years, Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia said on Friday.
“We took out a productivity-linked scheme for the drone sector where a nascent industry of drone manufacturing — which had a total revenue of Rs 60 crore — was given an incentive of Rs 120 crore over the next three years,” the minister said in his speech at an event organised by the Indo-American Chamber of Commerce (IACC).
Under the PLI scheme that was announced last year, the incentive for a manufacturer of drones and drone components will be 20 per cent of the value addition made by the company during the next three years.
