India's renowned drone startup, Garuda Aerospace, has received approval for the subsidy under the Tamil Nadu government's agricultural mechanization scheme. Among the two chosen companies, Garuda Aerospace stands as a great example of innovation, addressing labor shortages and boosting crop production capabilities in the region.

It not only equips farmers to undergo training for licensed drone piloting but also allows them to hire certified pilots. Furthermore, those with bank loans for Garuda Aerospace's agricultural drones will benefit from a 3% interest subsidy under this initiative.

Agnishwar Jayaprakash, the Founder and CEO of Garuda Aerospace, has reiterated his dedication to the advancement of agricultural methods in both Tamil Nadu and the broader Indian landscape. He affirmed that the subsidy, provided within the framework of the agricultural mechanization initiative, will play a pivotal role in expediting the adoption of state-of-the-art technology, ultimately resulting in higher crop yields.
