Meanwhile, the state-owned Power Grid Corporation of India has already started monitoring its 15,000-km long transmission network with the help of drones, which are equipped with high-definition cameras. The entire project will be mapped using drones. What’s more? The Indian Railways is using drones to monitor the construction of its railway lines by 3D mapping of a dedicated freight corridor network of 3,360-km project. The data collected is being utilized for the calculation of compensation of citizens with property rights along the highway. To cite an example, the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has employed the use of drones for 3D digital mapping for their various Detailed Project Reports (DPRs). Primarily being used by law enforcement agencies, drones have seen more usage by public sector utilities and government agencies for land surveying, mapping and monitoring. So what are the various drivers behind the usage of drones in India? Various statistics published by the Ministry of Civil Aviation corroborate that India will witness an estimated investment of INR 5,000 crores for the manufacturing of drones, which in turn will see the drone industry clock an annual turnover of INR 900-crore by fiscal 2024.
