InsideFPV Delivers ₹10 Crore Kamikaze Drone Order Under MoD’s EPR Route

06 Apr 2026 CW Team

The supply orders were fulfilled under the emergency procurement mechanism, which is aimed at fast-tracking acquisitions for immediate operational needs. InsideFPV’s quick execution reflects its manufacturing strength and readiness to support large-scale deployments, including in high-altitude conditions.

InsideFPV is among India’s emerging players in the FPV and kamikaze drone segment, with systems built for GPS-denied zones and extreme environments. The company stated that its platforms have been engineered for real-world tactical deployment rather than subsidy-linked development models, ensuring performance across challenging Indian terrains — from -35°C mountain conditions to 50°C desert heat.

Commenting on the achievement, Arth Chowdhary, CEO, InsideFPV, said, "Our Kamikaze and FPV systems were engineered specifically for India's harshest deployment environments, functioning reliably in temperatures dropping to -35°C. Executing this order in just two months proves that we can meet the Ministry of Defence's exact operational timelines without compromising on volume or precision."

To support growing demand and faster delivery cycles, InsideFPV is expanding its manufacturing operations and shifting to a 20,000 sq. ft. production facility, enabling it to scale output from hundreds to thousands of units. The company said the move will also strengthen its contribution towards reducing dependency on foreign-origin components in defence systems.

The contract signals a wider trend in India’s defence procurement strategy, where domestic manufacturers capable of delivering precision unmanned platforms quickly and at scale are increasingly being prioritised. Alongside kamikaze drones, InsideFPV is investing in R&D for interceptor systems, swarm technologies and GPS-denied navigation, while also exploring international MoUs to expand its footprint beyond India.
