U.S.I. JournalSummary: The rapid growth of the global drone industry has created immense economic and strategic opportunities for countries worldwide. In India, the drone sector has emerged as a crucial area of focus, with the government recognising its potential to drive economic growth, enhance national security, and foster technological self-reliance. This article delves into the significance of indigenising the drone supply and Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) chains in India. By reducing dependence on imports, stimulating domestic manufacturing, and creating job opportunities, the indigenisation efforts aim to propel India’s position as a global leader in drone technology. This article explores the benefits and challenges associated with this pursuit and discusses the strategies required to achieve selfreliance in the drone MRO industry. It concludes with the observation that by embracing a holistic approach and focusing on the long-term vision, having a robust aviation MRO ecosystem can propel India to the forefront of the global drone industry, emerging as a formidable drone hub on the world stage. – Reproduced
