The government should establish an Inter-Ministerial Committee (IMC) on drones and counter-drones with representation from all pertinent ministries and departments, according to the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI).
In a report created in partnership with EY, FICCI presented suggestions to the Indian government on how to deal with drone manufacturing’s current hurdles so that India may become a hub for drone production.
“The IMC should investigate all issues, including innovation, technology development, regulations, mother technology development, global value chains, testing, skill development, training, global standards, reciprocity issues, and custom duties, in order to make this sector globally competitive and to become the world’s manufacturing hub,” according to the report.
