The Government of Tamil Nadu has announced a groundbreaking initiative to establish the nation’s inaugural drone testing center. Set to be located within the SIPCOT industrial park near Sriperumbudur, the state-of-the-art facility will evaluate drone performance across diverse conditions. Equipped with advanced equipment and a flight simulator for pilot training, the center aims to ensure drone safety, reliability, and operational excellence.
This move aligns with the broader Indian government strategy to promote drone usage across various sectors, including agriculture, logistics, and infrastructure. By facilitating robust testing and innovation, Tamil Nadu’s testing center is positioned to catalyse the growth of the domestic drone industry and solidify India’s standing as a global hub for drone manufacturing and technology.
