28 Aug 2024 CW Team

Garuda Aerospace, a leading Indian drone manufacturer, has announced its plans to double its drone production capacity by FY26, aiming to meet the growing demand for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) across various sectors. The company?s expansion strategy focuses on scaling up production to meet the needs of agriculture, infrastructure, and defence industries.

Currently, Garuda Aerospace manufactures around 10,000 drones annually, but with increased investments in its facilities, the output is expected to exceed 20,000 drones by FY26. The company is leveraging India?s increasing reliance on technology-driven solutions in sectors such as precision farming, land surveys, and disaster management.

Agri-drones are one of the key growth areas for Garuda Aerospace, particularly as the government and private players push for advanced agricultural technologies. The company?s drones are also utilised in infrastructure monitoring and defence applications, further diversifying its customer base.

With the global drone market expanding and India positioning itself as a key player, Garuda Aerospace?s ambitious expansion plan could bolster its competitive edge, driving innovation and catering to the rising domestic and international demand.
