UAV policy impetus

Finally, one can fly drones in India

Legally after December 1, 2018

After taking permission

And observing certain regulatory provisions,

As per the policy regulations

From the Office of Director General of Civil Aviation

Released in the last week of August.

UAVs get a push from the top echelon of the government

Which is also evident

When it constituted a 13-member task force on drones

Headed by minister of state for civil aviation.

The task force is expected to come up with a road map for drone operations.

The transition in the approach of the government

From reluctance to caution to facilitation

Is a welcome step not only for the users

But for the manufacturers as well.
