India eases export policy for drones meant for civilian end uses
The government on Friday simplified and liberalized the policy for export of drones and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) meant for civilian end uses from India.
As per public notices issued by Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT), drones capable of range equal to or less than 25 km and delivering a payload of not more than 25 kgs and meant for only civilian end-use, will now be subject to General Authorization for Export of Drones (GAED), a one time general license valid for three years that would reduce compliance.
