Mumbai ,12th August 2025: DroneAcharya Aerial Innovations Limited has been awarded a work order worth INR 99.67 lakh by the Indian Army – Ministry of Defence for the supply of drones and the establishment of an advanced Drone Lab. The project will significantly enhance the Army’s drone training capabilities, providing military personnel with hands-on experience in reconnaissance, surveillance, and FPV (First Person View) drone applications.

The scope of work includes supplying a wide range of drones, such as Combat-Ready FPV Drones (10-inch and 7-inch), Surveillance Drones, Training Drones, and customized Nano Drones, along with setting up a state-of-the-art Drone Lab and integrated drone systems. This initiative is aimed at modernizing combat engineering training, improving real-time situational awareness, and boosting tactical efficiency within the regiment.

This development follows the successful completion of another INR 55 lakh project by DroneAcharya for upgrading the Drone Lab at another Indian Army establishment. That project involved the supply of various drones for defence operations and conducting DGCA-approved drone pilot training along with a Train-the-Trainer program, further empowering military personnel.

FPV drones, with their high-speed maneuverability and live video feed, are increasingly becoming vital assets in modern tactical missions. Their integration into Army training will improve operational readiness and enhance mission outcomes.

Prateek Srivastava, Founder and Managing Director of DroneAcharya, said: “In today’s fast-evolving defence landscape, technology acts as a force multiplier. By integrating drones into military training, we are equipping our armed forces with tools that enhance strategic decision-making, operational efficiency, and safety.” He added: “At DroneAcharya, we believe in empowering those who protect us. Through this collaboration, we are not just upgrading a facility — we are strengthening India’s defense capabilities and preparing combat engineers for the future of warfare.”
