Gurugram-based IG Drones has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Uttar Pradesh government to establish an advanced drone manufacturing and research facility in the UP Defence Corridor. The facility will focus on producing indigenous drones for India’s defence forces, with the state government providing necessary approvals, permissions, and access to both central and state incentives.
Founder and CEO Bodhisattwa Sanghapriya said, “This MoU is not just an agreement; it is a commitment to India’s self-reliance in defence technology. Our new facility will serve as a hub of innovation, manufacturing, and employment.” He also mentioned that the FPV Striker Drone, developed in India and tested at the Indo-China border, reflects the nation’s growing capability to create critical technologies independently.
Major General Ramesh C. Padhi, Senior Vice President of R&D at IG Drones, stated, “The demand for indigenous FPV drones is surging globally, and India must seize this moment. Our upcoming facility will play a pivotal role in ensuring that production is scaled up to meet national security requirements.”
The company aims to manufacture 100,000 units of the FPV Striker Drone every year. These drones are designed for rapid deployment and precision targeting, supporting India’s broader efforts to strengthen its defence ecosystem and promote technological self-reliance.
