DroneAcharya Aerial Innovations Limited is proud to announce that the Company has received consolidated work orders valued at ₹7.12 crore from the Indian Army – Ministry of Defence, for the supply of First-Person View (FPV) Drones. DroneAcharya was the only company to successfully qualify in the rigorous technical and field trials conducted by the Indian Army under challenging operational conditions. DroneAcharya's FPV platforms - Digital FPV and Analogue FPV, emerged as the only systems meeting all evaluation parameters and mission-specific customization requirements laid down by the Indian Army.
Following the successful completion of these trials, DroneAcharya was awarded an initial order for drones. Pursuant to the superior performance, operational reliability, and quality of the FPV systems supplied by the Company, the Indian Army subsequently amended the order by placing an additional 25% quantity under both categories, thereby increasing the total supply quantity.
The FPV drones under this order are indigenously designed and manufactured for long-range tactical operations, featuring secure real-time video transmission, precision payload delivery and control systems, and dual safety mechanisms - both electronic and mechanical to ensure optical and operational safety during training and live missions.
This achievement is the culmination of over 2 years of relentless effort, perseverance, and commitment by the DroneAcharya team. Through multiple successful demonstrations and field trials conducted at Him-Drone-Athon (Wari La, Ladakh), Joshimath (Auli, Uttarakhand), and various regiments and units across India, the Company continuously refined, tested, and enhanced its FPV Drone technology to meet the demanding standards of India's defense ecosystem. This sustained pursuit of excellence has finally come to fruition with this prestigious order.
Maj Gen (Dr) Mandip Singh, SM, VSM (Retd), President - Strategic Alliance said, "FPVs have disrupted the modern battlefield like no other weapon system. They are going to be the mainstay of the Indian Army's transformation & thrust towards technology absorption. DroneAcharya Aerial Innovations Ltd is the market leader in FPV technology & development in India. If you are looking for FPVs, this is your destination."
Mr. Prateek Srivastava, Founder and Managing Director of DroneAcharya Aerial Innovations Limited, said, "We are immensely proud to partner with the Indian Army in advancing India's defense preparedness through our indigenous FPV drone technology. This milestone reinforces DroneAcharya's position as a trusted Indian manufacturer delivering cutting-edge, reliable, and mission-ready drone systems designed for real-world tactical applications."
This order further reinforces DroneAcharya's commitment to advancing indigenous drone technologies for the defense and security sector, standing as a testament to the Company's technological competence, product quality, and manufacturing excellence in the FPV domain. The successful execution of this project is expected to contribute positively to the Company's growth trajectory, strengthen its order book, and enhance its strategic positioning within India's defense technology ecosystem. Notably, this work order follows a previous order valued at ₹3.68 crores for the supply of FPV Drones to other units of the Indian Army, further demonstrating DroneAcharya's growing trust and partnership within the Ministry of Defence ecosystem.
