Drones come in all shapes and sizes. The smaller ones typically have three of four rotors and can carry something small like a camera. The biggest, usually used by the military, look more like aeroplanes and can carry substantial payloads. In February this year India banned the import of drones, except for those needed by the military or for research and development. The government wants to develop a home-grown industry that can design and assemble drones and make the components that go into their manufacture. What is thought on India’s pressure to build a leading a drone industry ?
