Garuda Aerospace Receives Type Certification for Kisan Drones from DGCA

The Director General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has issued the Type Certification for the Kisan drones made by Garuda Aerospace, a Chennai headquartered drone startup. This certification marks a major milestone in the development of this technology and opens up new opportunities for its use in various sectors. Garuda Aerospace is a leading Indian drone manufacturer that designs and builds innovative drones to meet customer needs. Their flagship product, the Kisan Drone, is an advanced unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) designed to provide farmers with precise data on crop health and yield. It uses sophisticated sensors to collect real-time data on soil moisture levels, temperature, humidity and other parameters that are essential for successful crop management. The DGCA’s type certification ensures that all components of the Kisan Drone comply with safety regulations and standards set by the government. This certification will allow Garuda Aerospace to deploy their drones in India as well as export them to other countries where they can be used for agricultural purposes or even search and rescue operations. The company has already partnered with several state governments in India to help farmers monitor their crops more efficiently using these drones. They have also collaborated with research institutes such as IIT Madras and IIM Bangalore to develop better algorithms for analyzing data collected by these UAVs. With this type certification, Garuda Aerospace will be able to expand their reach even further into new markets both domestically and internationally. This development comes at an opportune time when there is increasing demand for precision agriculture solutions due to climate change and water scarcity issues across many parts of India. By leveraging cutting-edge technology such as UAVs, companies like Garuda Aerospace are helping farmers improve yields while reducing costs associated with traditional farming methods such as manual labor or chemical fertilizers. Commenting on this achievement, Anil Kumar Gupta, CEO of Garuda Aerospace said “We are delighted that our Kisan Drone has received type certification from DGCA which validates our commitment towards developing world-class products that meet stringent safety requirements” He added “This is just the beginning; we plan on launching more advanced products in the near future that will revolutionize how farmers manage their crops”
