Global drone revolution and related regulatory framework: A critical review

Abstract

Abstract The drone industry has the potential to significantly increase India’s economy. The Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) programme in India is estimated to earn USD 1.8 billion in income by 2026. By 2026, the drone market is anticipated to register $40.7 billion. By 2021 about 60% of the 860,000 drones that had been registered in the U.S. were used for recreational reasons. Drone Integration and Zoning Act and American Security Drone Act are key pieces of legislation for drone-related activities in 2021. In India registration of the drone is compulsory in all the cases. However in comparison to the earlier rule the Indian Government has given several relaxations.
