Karnataka govt plans major push for drone industry
The Karnataka government is planning a multi-pronged push to make the state the preferred destination for the bourgeoning drone sector, which is expected to be a billion-dollar nationwide industry by 2025.
Consultations are already being carried out with industry stakeholders, including the Drone Federation of India, and another round of talks will be held this week, on September 7, a top state government official told DH.
“We need to create an ecosystem. We are looking to come up with research and development facilities and testing laboratories. These will be funded in a public-private partnership model,” the official said.
