Drone firms in talks for self-regulation of standards to boost localization

The drone industry in India is in discussions with the government to establish a self-regulatory code of operations. Talks have focused on creating standards for localization of components, collaborative R&D programs, and the development of advanced drones. The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) is keen on helping Indian drone firms localize a larger percentage of their key components. The discussions have gained urgency following a terrorist attack on Hezbollah, and the government sees the localization of drone manufacturing as a matter of national security. The Center is offering companies the opportunity to propose their own solutions rather than enforcing regulations upon them.
