India Redefines Indigenous Drones: What It Means for OEMs and the Future of UAVs
India has defined “Indigenously Designed & Manufactured” Drones in greater detail. ePropelled welcomes this step to allow our customers to make much better design decisions.
Today’s latest release of documents on what constitutes indigenous drones is a major step for India’s aerospace and defence ecosystem.
Here’s what it really means: Top priority procurement route: Under DAP-2020, the Buy (Indian-IDDM) category has the highest priority. To qualify, a drone must be: • Designed & developed in India (IP, engineering, testing done here). • Manufactured in India with ≥50% indigenous content (IC) on a cost basis.
How IC is measured: Local value includes Indian components, software, integration, testing, and labour. Imports, royalties, and foreign services don’t count. Many RFPs demand detailed BoM and CA certification.
Civil side (Kisan & commercial drones): DGCA governs type certification. QCI has already begun component-level IC checks in agricultural drones, with ~70% targets, showing how India is operationalising indigenisation beyond defence.
Extra defence requirements: • Parts from land-border countries (notably China) are barred in sensitive drones. • Large RFPs (e.g., MALE-UAV) mandate final manufacture and MRO in India.
Checklist for OEMs: • Document design origin & IP ownership. • Provide a costed BoM with IC calculation. • Ensure supply-chain origin compliance. • Show integration & QA records from Indian facilities.
Why it matters: India is investing heavily in unmanned systems. Qualification as IDDM isn’t just a label—it determines who can bid, what local content is needed, and how the supply chain must adapt.
The direction is clear: India wants drones designed, built, and sustained in India—with transparent, verifiable indigenous content.
India launches its first Tri Services Academia Technology Symposium (T-SATS) in Delhi. The summit brings together the armed forces, IITs, IIITs, and private institutes to co-develop advanced defence technologies. #Defence #Innovation #MilitaryTech
A new model for nurturing India's young engineering talent is emerging, centred on real-world projects and direct industry experience.
India's young engineers are driving the nation's drone innovation forward. Companies like BonV® are collaborating with institutions such as IIT Mandi and CV Raman Global University, providing students with hands-on experience in drone design and deployment. This approach fosters practical skills and strengthens the domestic drone industry.
Indigenous technology utilized by our ancestors but forgotten by the current generation has a lot more to offer us and we are unaware of it.

@laniakea_love love this kid. He so darn amazing , defies science , spirituality, religion, politics, policies and authoritaries and he’s only 3 years old. Kapu Aloha ! Tells you how much common sense people don’t have , that they choose to be who they want to be , their ego, and rather stuff their own integrity, plaster negativity on titles that other professionals share , lower representation of organisations, and their own family name pushed deep in crap before thinking past their ego. If his service dog was home , they would be standing here curious and determined, staring us in the eye wanting more of what life had to throw at them. Bummed all my dogs weren’t home , being borrowed to make 4 other lives filled with love and protected.
