A blueprint of rules had been prepared for operating drones, Scindia said.

As in the case of bigger aircraft drone flying paths will be established, and people would be permitted to fly drones in defined areas with the help of software, the minister said.

Drones will also be registered, and drones flyers would be issued licenses, he said.

The minister added the air traffic to and from Jabalpur, Indore, Khajuraho, Gwalior, and Bhopal in Madhya Pradesh was rising. The number of flights from these areas will increase to 738 from 424 from September 1.
