Chief Minister Naidu aims to build Amaravati the drone capital of India and Andhra Pradesh a centre for drone innovation.
At the Amaravati Drone Summit 2024, Chief Minister Naidu addressed drone manufacturers and enthusiasts and shared with them a vision for drone tech in Andhra Pradesh. In a social media post on X (formerly Twitter), he wrote, “To facilitate the growth of the drone industry, I have announced 300 acres of land at Orvakallu in Kurnool District. We aim to train 35,000 drone pilots and scale up indigenously developed, cost-effective drone applications. Within 15 days, the Government of Andhra Pradesh will formulate a new policy to establish a favourable environment for drones and emerging technologies in AP, in collaboration with all stakeholders.”
Chief Minister Naidu emphasised using drones for the greater good like they were leveraged during the Vijayawada Flood relief operations.
Amaravati will be the drone capital of India and Andhra Pradesh will become the centre for drone innovation in the country. At the Amaravati Drone Summit today, I addressed drone manufacturers and enthusiasts and shared with them a vision for drone tech in AP.
