Dhaksha and IFFCO Collaborate to Bring Innovative Drone Technology to Indian Farms

Chennai-based drone manufacturing powerhouse, Dhaksha Unmanned Systems, has officially kicked off the delivery phase for its much-awaited Agri Drones to IFFCO, a major player in India's agricultural cooperative scene. The collaboration signals a strong impact on the agricultural sector. The integration with drone technology will transform traditional farming methods and elevate both productivity and sustainability in the sector.

Dhaksha's top-notch Agri Drone, the 'DH-Agrigator-E10 Plus,' is a modern Kisan drone loaded with a 10-liter spray tank and a robust 25,200 mAh battery, capable of covering an impressive 3 acres of farmland on just one charge. 

The inclusion of cutting-edge features, such as First Person View (FPV) cameras providing a pilot's-eye perspective, obstacle, and terrain sensors ensuring obstacle-free navigation, and the Return-to-Launch (RTL) functionality facilitating automatic return in low battery or liquid levels, positions these drones as invaluable assets for contemporary agriculture. 

As the initial batch of drones was delivered, IFFCO officials stood witness, marking the teamwork between the two companies in adopting the best drone technology for agriculture.

The Indian government is also taking steps to promote the adoption of drone technology in agriculture. In 2021, the government launched the Drone Shakti scheme to provide financial incentives to drone manufacturers and service providers. The government is also working on developing regulations to govern the safe and responsible use of drones in Indian airspace.

Through this collaboration, farmers nationwide can gain access to innovative technological solutions that will help them to enhance crop yields, reduce expenses, and ultimately, boost profitability.
