Drone Policy 2023

The Drone Policy 2023, introduced by the Information Technology Development Agency (ITDA) under the Department of Information Technology, Government of Uttarakhand, focuses on advancing drone technology across the state. Its core aim is to improve service delivery and governance, especially in difficult mountainous regions, by utilising drone applications. The policy also works to reinforce the broader drone ecosystem, covering both Drone System Design and Manufacturing (DSDM) and Drone-Based Services (DES), through partnerships between industry, academia, and government.

Incentive schemes and rewards are part of the policy for organisations that perform well in drone manufacturing and associated services. These measures are intended to foster a supportive environment for technological progress and economic growth in this field.

Submit applications in person at the Information Technology Development Agency (ITDA).

• For full details on how to apply and the criteria used for selection, contact the ITDA office directly.

Selection is merit-based, with rewards directed at startups, companies, and individuals who demonstrate excellence in drone manufacturing and related services.
