Several enterprises in India are working right now on drone technology for delivering food, medicines, and vaccinations. Other industries like agriculture, military and media entertainment have already adopted drones for various purposes.
There has been a massive change in the way drones are used today as compared to how they were used a decade ago. Earlier drones were used only for military purposes but now with the evolution of technology, drones are widely used for commercial purposes as well.
Drones have gained popularity in almost every industry nowadays. Real estate industry is using drones for advertising, the infrastructure industry is using it for land surveillance, photographers for taking cinematic shots of weddings and hobbyists for aesthetic ones.
What makes a fixed-wing stand out from the typical multirotor is the way they take off and land, their better power efficiency, hauls a greater payload and ensures efficient aerodynamics, which means they can take longer flights at higher speed offering more coverage.
Drones have made their way to several commercial industries, Real Estate being one of them. Drones provide a unique perspective when it comes to property. Drones are used for different types of real estate listing namely resorts, residential apartments, hotels, commercial properties and many more. Though residential and commercial are the two kinds of real estates where drones are used the most.
Drones continue to become more and more relevant tools across a variety of industries. An example of such an industry is mining. The mining industry involves the extraction of precious minerals, which are transformed into a mineralized form for an economic benefit. The biggest advantage of using drones in mining is that drones can quickly investigate and inspect an area much faster and far more cheaply than any other mining tools available nowadays for mining.
Construction industry is one of the oldest and the most challenging industries, as they require consistent control on daily activities, Cost and Resources. With increase in technology, the modern methods have been integrated with the conventional methods, leading to the invention of UAVs or Drones.
However, drone applications are limited in India due to the cost of drones, operational policy, and limited availability of technically trained pilots in the drone market. Hiring an urban drone team to conduct a remotely located small field survey is extremely expensive for any assessment or crop planning at the grassroots level.
The adoption of modern technologies in agriculture, such as the use of drones or Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) can revolutionize the way we prepare for and respond to disasters that affect the livelihoods of vulnerable farmers and the country’s food security.
India is primarily an agrarian economy. India’s economy is majorly dependent on agricultural produce and that also constitutes a major portion of export. Also, for the majority of rural households, agriculture is the chief source of income. For the farmers, crop failures due to adverse weather conditions and uncontrolled pest issues are devastating events that can set them back years, or in worse cases create spirals of unmanageable debt.
