Madhya Pradesh has launched the Drone Promotion and Utilisation Policy 2025 to establish itself as a major hub for drone manufacturing. The policy offers up to 40% capital subsidy (capped at ₹30 crore) for manufacturing units, along with incentives such as drone schools, research and development support, and stamp duty exemptions. The initiative aims to attract over ₹400 crore in investment and was a key highlight at Bhopal’s Global Investors Summit (Feb 24-25). With the drone sector projected to reach a $13 billion market by 2030, this policy positions Madhya Pradesh as a leader in drone technology and innovation.
