IoTechWorld Avigation Expands Drone Operations and Pilot Training Centers Across India

IoTechWorld Avigation, an Indian agricultural drone manufacturer, has announced its plans to establish seven remote pilot training organizations (RPTOs) in five states by July of this year. The company aims to increase its drone sales to 3,000 units in the fiscal year 2023-24, a significant rise from 500 units sold in the previous year.

This expansion comes as IoTechWorld Avigation continues to solidify its position in the agri-drone market and seeks to provide improved customer service and job opportunities for rural youths.

Deepak Bhardwaj, Co-founder and Director of IoTechWorld Avigation, expressed excitement about the company's plans, emphasizing that they would strengthen their position in the Indian agri-drone market. Bhardwaj also highlighted the company's commitment to delivering top-quality agri-drones, excellent customer service and creating job opportunities for rural youths.

IoTechWorld Avigation, founded in 2017, plans to expand its product offerings and leverage its extensive network across India to enter new markets in Russia, Africa, Brazil, and the SAARC region. The company has already initiated talks with potential buyers in these countries.

IoTechWorld Avigation's drones are known for incorporating a minimum of 70 per cent locally sourced components, and the company anticipates that their prices will decrease as sales volume increases within India. The adoption of drones in the agriculture sector offers significant cost savings for farmers by optimizing the usage of agrochemicals, fertilizers, and water, resulting in higher crop yields.

The company has partnered with leading organizations and universities for these training centres, ensuring high-quality education for aspiring drone pilots.

To enhance its after-sales service and network expansion, IoTechWorld Avigation will also inaugurate a new service centre for agri-drones in Kolhapur, Maharashtra. By establishing more service centres, the company aims to provide faster response times to customers and minimize downtime for repairs or maintenance.

The Indian government is actively encouraging the use of drones in agriculture to support farmers, including providing financial assistance for the purchase of agricultural drones. In line with the vision of an Aatmanirbhar Bharat (self-reliant India), the central government approved the Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme for drones and drone components in 2021.

With IoTechWorld Avigation's expansion plans and commitment to innovation, the Indian agricultural sector can expect further advancements in the use of drone technology for improved productivity and sustainability.
