Aerospace startup Airbound has signed a memorandum of understanding with the Andhra Pradesh Drone Corporation to build a large-scale drone delivery network across the Amaravati Capital Region as India’s push to modernise logistics through drones gathers pace.
Civil Aviation Minister Kinjarapu Ram Mohan Naidu described the project as an example of India’s growing capabilities in advanced aviation.
“Airbound’s trajectory shows what India is capable of in next-generation aviation.
By partnering with a homegrown company to build one of the world’s largest drone delivery networks, Andhra Pradesh is demonstrating that cutting-edge technology can be designed, built, and scaled in India, delivering real connectivity, jobs, and growth for our people,” the minister said.
If the project reaches its stated target of enabling 10,000 drone flights a day over the coming year, it could become one of the world’s largest commercial drone delivery networks, while offering a significant test of whether unmanned aircraft can complement conventional transport for healthcare, ecommerce, and commercial logistics.
