Andhra Pradesh is rapidly progressing with the aim of becoming the Drone Capital of India
Vijayawada: Andhra Pradesh is rapidly progressing with the aim of becoming the Drone Capital of India. The state’s vision is to develop world-class drones using indigenous technologies and "emerge as a significant player" in the global drone industry.
Aspiring entrepreneurs and industry leaders are invited to bring forward their proposals and shape the future of the drone industry. In alignment with the vision of the CM, the AP Drone Corporation is executing strategic initiatives to foster rapid growth in the drone sector and is working to make drone services widely available in administration as well as to the public.
APDC officials said the corporation has extensively studied how drones can be beneficial and can be effectively used in "which all" sectors. It has identified over 100 practical drone-use cases across sectors and continues to explore new applications. Proposals are welcomed from startups, established companies and individuals eager to innovate in this space.
They said, “In order to connect investors, businesses and the public in the drone sector, the AP Drone Corporation is launching a dedicated portal named the AP Drone Mart. This portal would list companies offering drone services, their contact details and other relevant information.”
As and when individuals, businesses or institutions need drone services, they can use this portal to identify suitable providers. The drone corporation is inviting bids from interested companies for empanelment to be listed on this portal.
APDC officials said the organisations interested in investing in drone city at Orvakal, entrepreneurs developing drone use cases, and startup companies seeking empanelment are requested to submit their proposals to the AP drone corporation online by April 21.
