Compliance and safety
Commercial drone flights in India are governed by the Drone Rules, 2021. Here's how we plan flights within those rules, keep your site safe and handle your data.
Flying within India's Drone Rules, 2021
- Airspace zones
- India's airspace map on the Digital Sky platform marks areas as green, yellow or red. Green zones can generally be flown within the rules; yellow zones need permission from the relevant air traffic control authority; red zones need central government approval. We check every site before planning.
- Registered drones and certified pilots
- Commercial operations require drones registered on Digital Sky and pilots holding a Remote Pilot Certificate from a DGCA-authorised training organisation.
- Insurance
- Our operations carry third-party insurance as required for drone flights.

Safety on your site
- Flights are scheduled with your site in-charge and follow your site's safety rules
- Take-off and landing areas are kept clear of workers and traffic
- We avoid flying directly over people where possible and pause flights when conditions are unsafe
- Weather, wind and visibility are checked before each flight
Handling your site data
- Your imagery and outputs belong to you
- Files are shared only with people you approve
- We don't publish images of your project without written permission
- We can delete project data on request at the end of an engagement
Drone-based measurements and imagery support project review and decision-making. They complement, and do not replace, site engineers, licensed surveyors or other qualified professionals.
