How DGCA-certified drones are transforming Indian farming with AI-driven spraying and crop health analytics.
The State of Indian Agriculture
Indian agriculture faces unprecedented challenges — from labour shortages to water scarcity and the need for higher yields. Precision agriculture, enabled by drone technology, offers a scalable solution that addresses these challenges while reducing chemical usage and environmental impact.
DGCA-Certified Precision Spraying
Aeronica's Samrudhhi-10L, India's first DGCA type-certified agricultural UAV, is at the forefront of this transformation. With a 24.9 kg payload capacity and 16-minute flight time, it can cover 2 acres per flight with precision spraying that reduces pesticide usage by up to 30% compared to traditional methods.
AI-Driven Crop Health Analytics
Beyond spraying, multispectral sensors mounted on drones capture NDVI, LCI, and other vegetation indices that reveal crop health at a level of detail impossible from ground observation. Our Aeroni.AI engine processes this data in real-time, generating application maps that tell farmers exactly where to spray and at what concentration.
