Dreamfly plans 200 MWh drone battery facility

Dreamfly Innovations has announced plans to establish a 40,000 sq ft aviation battery manufacturing facility in North Bengaluru with an initial annual capacity of 100 MWh, scalable to 200 MWh.

The facility will produce advanced batteries for defence, surveillance, inspection, agricultural spraying, logistics and emerging air mobility platforms such as air taxis. The company said the project would strengthen India’s domestic drone supply chain by expanding local production of a critical unmanned aerial system component.

Dreamfly currently reports indigenous content of 77% in its products. The company aims to support Indian drone manufacturers with locally developed power solutions, reducing dependence on imported components and contributing to the country’s advanced manufacturing ecosystem.

The project aligns with the Make in India, Atmanirbhar Bharat and Viksit Bharat 2047 initiatives. Demand for drone batteries is expected to grow as unmanned aerial systems gain wider use across agriculture, construction, logistics, safety and defence.

Kajal Shah, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Dreamfly Innovations, said the new facility would help develop advanced, reliable and high-performance batteries for India’s expanding drone economy.

Avaana Capital said the plant would support the development of safer and more competitive drone platforms while strengthening India’s deep-tech manufacturing capabilities and future aviation ecosystem.
