According to the new rules, special drone corridors will be evolve for cargo deliveries. Several approvals have also been terminated. They also been included unique authorisation number, unique prototype identification number, certificate of manufacturing and airworthiness, drone port authorisation etc. The civil aviation ministry on Thursday notified the liberalised Drone Rules, 2021, that replace the Unmanned Aircraft System Rules (UAS), 2021, which came into force in March. They are making the new rules which are significantly easier for people and companies to own and operate drones. They also streamline a labyrinthine certification process for manufacturers, importers and users.
India has the prospective to be a global drone hub by 2030 as drones offer enormous benefits to all sectors of the economy and can be notable creators of employment and economic growth due to their reach, versatility, and ease of use,” the ministry said on Thursday. Officials have since said they are working on anti-drone technologies. Typical consumer drones usually have some inbuilt safeguards, which mean not all are unsafe.
