This has given a fillip to homegrown drone companies that are finding innovative uses for these unmanned aerial vehicles. One of India’s leading drone companies <keyword id="7785402" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="throttle-aerospace-systems" source="Orion">Throttle Aerospace Systems</keyword> (TAS) witnessed a 150% growth since the announcement.

Last year, Zomato acquired a drone startup <keyword id="6576859" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="techeagle" source="Orion">TechEagle</keyword> to build models that can help deliver essentials and possibly food in the near future.

The companies have partnered with Dunzo, leading hospitals in India and even grocery delivery for Instamart, by Swiggy. At present, they are manufacturing 30 drones per month, aiming to go upto 45-50 units in the near future. Consumer brands like Swiggy recently partnered with Garuda Aerospace and Throttle to launch doorstep deliveries for groceries through Instamart. Its trials have already begun across Delhi-NCR and Bangalore. Another startup Biryani by Kilo delivered Biryani to eight influencers post the launch of eight stores in Hyderabad. As of now, the drone space in India is extensively being used in the defense sector and helping with delivery of average payload commodities. “We can see consumer led drones picking up but before that we would need designated drone corridors by the government. As of now, drones would be extensively used in the defense sector or for average load deliveries. Though it is exciting to witness food being delivered by a drone, it is further down the future,” said Sarath Chandra <keyword id="14985844" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="gudlavalleti" source="Orion">Gudlavalleti</keyword>, CEO of Neosky. The government too had founded extended uses for drones. During the pandemic, a box weighing 12 kilos of medicines and 20 vials of vaccines was delivered to rural parts of Telangana through drones in an initiative called ‘Medicines from the Sky’. ‘Laws for this sector are still being made’ The government is taking active steps to boost domestic manufacturing of drones. On July 6, 2022, India’s aviation ministry released the second provisional list of 23 beneficiaries of the production-linked incentives (PLI) scheme for the drone industry. Combined annual sales turnover of PLI beneficiaries in the drone industry reached ₹3.19 billion in 2021-22 from ₹880 million the previous year. “A welcome change by the government was to stop drone imports which has boosted Make In India drone companies. Dividing India’s airspace into Red, Green and Amber zones has also helped. But laws for this sector are still being made as it is very new,” said Gudlavalleti. The Ministry of Civil Aviation has divided the Indian airspace into three zones- Green (no permission required), Amber (controlled airspace) and Red (no drones allowed). The government also launched a DigitalSky platform in January 2022 for verification of Made in India drones. The drone defender Through small steps, the Indian government is also opening the door for commercial use of drones during disaster management and even economic mapping. Beginning April 2022, all drone operators have been allowed to promote secure operations without needing multiple approvals by possessing a valid UIN. Throttle is one such beneficiary.

Medicines and Biryani from the sky: Made-In-India drones witness growth post import ban

New Delhi, Dec 17 () Union Minister V K Singh on Tuesday said "sponsors" might be encouraging protests by students of Jamia Millia Islamia in the national capital against the Citizenship Amendment Act, and asserted that no Indian citizen would be affected by it. 
 The university had turned into a battlefield on Sunday as police entered the campus and also used force, following protest against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA).
 "With this amendment act, is any Indian citizen being harmed?...I would like to ask every student of Jamia Millia how has it (CAA) endangered your citizenship? Are you a refugee who has migrated after having being prosecuted?," Singh who is the Minister of State for Road Transport and Highways said.
 "My firm belief is that there is more to it than what we are seeing. And behind this, there would be sponsors. There would be somebody who is encouraging this. In our country, misconception spreads faster. First we used to see newspaper and say that if it is printed in newspaper it would be true. Now we see WhatsApp and say it would be true," he explained.
 "We need to be rational... Let us first understand what are they demonstrating against. How is it affecting you? It is not affecting me... Nobody who is an Indian citizen," the former Army chief said.
 Singh was speaking on the sidelines of the conference on 'Smart Border Management 2019', organised by Ficci and India Foundation. 
 The situation remained tense in the university premises on Tuesday as protesters, including students and local residents, converged outside the varsity holding tricolour and placards to continue their demonstration against CAA and National Register of Citizens (NRC).
 Braving freezing cold, they took out small marches outside the varsity, shouting slogans against the government. 
 This is the second consecutive day of peaceful protests after the demonstration on Sunday turned violent. SID ANS

Jamia Millia student protests might be encouraged by "sponsors": V K Singh

By K J M Varma Beijing, Jun 22 () China on Monday declined to comment on Union Minister and former Indian Army chief Gen (retd) V K Singh's remarks that more than 40 Chinese soldiers were killed in the Galwan Valley clash in eastern Ladakh, saying it has no information to release on the issue. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian, during a media briefing here, reiterated that "China and India are in communication with each other to resolve the situation on the ground through diplomatic and military channels". Asked about the remarks of Singh, he said: "I have no information to release on that." Ever since the clash on June 15 at the Galwan Valley between the Indian and Chinese troops, Beijing has consistently declined to reveal the details of the casualties on its side, while the official media editorials have said that China too suffered casualties. Commenting on the current India-China border standoff, Singh on Saturday told a news channel that "If we lost 20 soldiers, more than double the number were killed on their [Chinese] side". Meanwhile, India and China are holding another round of Lt General-level talks on Monday to discuss ways to de-escalate tension between the two sides in eastern Ladakh, official sources in New Delhi said. The high-level talks came a week after 20 Indian Army personnel were killed in the violent clash between the two sides in the Galwan Valley, significantly escalating the already volatile situation in the region. The first round of Lt Gen-level talks were held on June 6 during which both sides decided to "disengage" in all the sensitive areas. The India-China border dispute covers the 3,488-km-long Line of Actual Control. China claims Arunachal Pradesh as part of southern Tibet, while India contests it. KJV CPS AKJ CPS

New Delhi, Nov 20 () Union Minister V K Singh on Wednesday said infrastructure sector could play a mega role in bolstering the economy and the government is ready with a basket of highway projects worth Rs 15 lakh crore to be offered in next five years.
 He said infrastructure encompasses areas that can generate huge employment and kick off economic progress.
 Regarding the slowdown in the economy, the Minister of State for Road Transport and Highways V K Singh said, it is a "temporary phase".
 He noted that "the sector that is going to make a difference in ensuring that the recovery is fast and the recovery is big is the infrastructure sector - whether it is railways, whether it is road, whether it is airports or whether it is communication".
 Addressing 'Infra Awards 2019' by Dun and Bradstreet India (D&amp;B India), a provider of global business information, Singh said infrastructure encompasses areas which bolster the economy, generate employment and kick off growth.
 "We have a basket of approximately Rs 15 lakh crore projects which have to be given out in this 5 years that are coming up. These include economic corridors, port connectivity, connecting important places, SEZs and tourists places," he said.
 He further noted that the role of infrastructure in reviving economic growth could be understood from the fact that this was the sector which pulled out the US from the great depression in 1930s.
 He said with the government's focus on infrastructure, it was possible to achieve the USD 5 trillion economy target.

New Delhi, Dec 6 () The government is open to adopt latest technologies and eco-friendly materials for road construction to enhance economic and environment viability of projects, Union Ministry V K Singh said on Friday.
Minister of State for Road Transport and Highways Singh was addressing a conference on New and Emerging Technologies in Road Construction, organised by industry body Ficci.
"Government is open to adopt and try newer and innovative technologies for road construction by various technology promoters to improve the economic and environment viability of the projects as it is necessary to cut down construction costs by employing new materials, innovative technology, and by fast tracking decision making to avoid associated cost escalation," the minister said.
The highways construction industry should develop innovative and eco-friendly materials as well as use recovered and recycled materials to develop green transport infrastructure, he said.
Singh said the infrastructure sector, particularly highways, can spur economic momentum and it is the sector which will propel the growth of the country.
The highways sector has the potential to revive growth and cited how the US survived economic depression during 1930s because it built road infrastructure, which spurred growth in steel, cement, automotive sectors and labour market.
"There is also urgent need to streamline the Detailed Project Reports (DPR) preparing process, as in most cases the project reports are delayed, ill-conceived and not based on ground realities, which is causing undue delays in project execution and one of the main reasons for cost escalations. There is an urgent need to develop a positive, transparent, corruption free working system by adopting newer technologies ...Delayed decisions are totally unacceptable as they lead to colossal loss of time," he added.
To promote green construction, NHAI will be bringing out a new document on use of waste plastic in road construction within a month, said R K Pandey, Member Projects, NHAI.
The government should have provision on use of local construction materials in the Detailed Project Reports (DPR) so that local natural resources can be used for constructing eco-friendly sustainable roads, K K Kapila Co-chairperson, FICCI Infra Committee on Transport said. NAM BAL

New Delhi, Jan 23 () Terming delays in highway projects as "unacceptable", Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari on Thursday asked officials and developers to strictly adhere to project schedules.
 Gadkari also launched online web portal 'GATI' on the pattern of 'PRAGATI', the portal used by the Prime Ministers' Officer for monitoring projects.
 "Delays in projects are unacceptable. Adhere strictly to project schedules," Gadkari told officials and developers, while reviewing Rs 3-lakh crore projects, including delayed ones.
 Any inter-ministerial issue holding up a project may be brought to the notice of the ministry for intervention to expedite resolution, Gadkari said.
 Projects from southern and central zones, including Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Puducherry, Telangana, Gujarat, Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh, were on review on Thursday.
 A total of 500 highway projects worth Rs 3 lakh crore are being taken up for review on Thursday and Friday with a view to fast-track them.
 Gadkari, along with Minister of State for Road Transport and Highways V K Singh, launched online web portal 'GATI', which has been created by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) on the lines of PRAGATI.
 An official said "Gadkari will also personally monitor the projects".
 The portal 'GATI' can be accessed from NHAI's website, and contractors and concessionaires can raise any project-related issues on the platform, according to a statement by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways.
 "The issue will immediately come to the notice of everyone...HQ NHAI including top management, and immediate action will be taken by the concerned officer duly updating on the portal," it said.
 The issues raised on 'GATI' will be daily monitored by a team of NHAI officers and will be constantly reviewed by the senior officers of the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) and the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, the statement said.
 This will bring transparency and speed up the decision making in highway construction, it added.
 All developers, contractors and officers of NHAI are linked to the portal and it will help sharing of all project-related information for speedy implementation.
 The projects from northeastern states, Maharashtra, Uttarakhand, Punjab, Jammu &amp; Kashmir, Ladakh, Haryana, Bihar, Odisha, Jharkhand, West Bengal and Uttar Pradesh will be reviewed Friday.
 The issues related to projects in northeastern states and under National Highways and Infrastructure Development Corporation Ltd have already been reviewed in a separate meeting held on January 7. NAM HRS

The North Korean embassy in <keyword id="6358777" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="New-Delhi">New Delhi</keyword>, <keyword id="3658" type="COUNTRY" weightage="20" keywordseo="India">India</keyword>’s capital, does not look particularly inviting. Housed in a nondescript two-storey building with fading white exteriors , the North Korean embassy is miles away, in all senses, from the swanky Chanakyapuri area where most diplomatic missions are located. The only real sign of movement around the building seems to be the flag fluttering weakly on the roof, which is also the only visible indicator of a North Korean presence. In fact, the building was the subject of <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/india/comments/4ztjzq/indian_embassy_in_pyongyang_north_koreanp/">a thread</a> on Reddit, a discussion platform, a few years ago. One user remarked, “This looks like an average coaching institute hostel in New Delhi”. The dejected state of the embassy is reflective of the current ties between <keyword id="13473" type="LOCATION" weightage="100" keywordseo="North-Korea">North Korea</keyword> and India, who first established relations in 1973. However, this might all be about to change. Following North Korea’s re-entry into the hallways of international diplomacy - marked by <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2018/04/27/watch-the-north-and-south-korean-leaders-historic-handshake.html">a handshake</a> between the leaders of both the Koreas and <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2018/05/08/politics/pompeo-north-korea-trip-trump/index.html">visits by the US Secretary of State, </a>Mike Pompeo - India seems ready to renew ties with the country. On May 16th, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) <a href="http://www.mea.gov.in/press-releases.htm?dtl/29899/Visit+of+Minister+of+State+for+External+Affairs+General+Dr+VK+Singh+Retd+to+the+Democratic+Peoples+Republic+of+Korea">announced </a>that V.K. Singh, the minister of state for external affairs, had embarked on a two-day trip to North Korea- the first such visit by an Indian minister in two decades. The two sides agreed to collaborate in a number of spheres, including education, medicine, agriculture and the promotion of cultural practices like yoga. The move was actually precipitated by India’s concern over Pakistan’s supposed access to North Korea’s missile technology, strategically phrased as “proliferation linkages in India’s neighbourhood”. The concerns weren’t unfounded. Pakistan and North Korea <a href="https://thediplomat.com/2016/08/the-long-history-of-the-pakistan-north-korea-nexus/">have a history of cooperation in nuclear technology</a>. For it’s part, North Korea was said to have reassured India that there would be no threats to its security. The pleasantries exchanged are a sign of progress, more so given the MEA’s<a href="https://www.financialexpress.com/india-news/mea-tells-north-korea-missile-programme-impacting-indian-national-security-refrain-from-such-actions/753745/"> condemnation of North Korea’s launch of a nuclear missile</a> in July last year. A few months before, the Indian government had also <a href="http://money.cnn.com/2017/05/01/news/north-korea-india-trade-ban/index.html">cut all trade ties </a>with the country, except for food and medicine, in compliance with a UN resolution. Trade between the two countries totalled $133.4 million in 2016-17, a paltry figure for India, but not insignificant for North Korea, since the former was it’s third-largest trading partner. The visit by V.K. Singh is a tentative start to a renewed relationship. It could be given an even greater impetus if the proposed summit between <keyword id="6354484" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Donald-Trump">Donald Trump</keyword> and Kim Jong Un <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/north-korea-threatens-to-cancel-summit-with-trump-over-military-ruckus-with-south-korea/articleshow/64182441.cms">not only goes through</a>, but proves to be successful in encouraging the denuclearisation of North Korea. Perhaps then, the North Korean embassy in Delhi will get a makeover.

Narendra Modi announces Union Cabinet portfolio

Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat on Tuesday said lynching is a "western construct" and should not be used in the Indian context to defame the country.Addressing the Vijayadashmi function of the RSS at Reshimbagh ground in <keyword id="13126" type="LOCATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Maharashtra">Maharashtra</keyword>'s <keyword id="4072" type="LOCATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Nagpur">Nagpur</keyword> city, he said the word 'lynching' does not originate from Indian ethos but comes from a separate religious text, and such terms should not be imposed on Indians.

Voicing his displeasure over several incidents of mob violence in the country, he said, "Lynching is not the word from Indian ethos, its origin is from a story in a separate religious text. We Indians trust in brotherhood. Don't impose such terms on Indians." "Lynching itself is a western construct and one shouldn't use it in the Indian context to defame the country," he said. Bhagwat urged citizens to create harmony, and that everyone should live within confines of law. "Swayamsevaks are brought up with that sanskar," he said. He said in the past few years, there has been transformation in "direction of thought process of Bharat". "There are many people in the world and in Bharat as well, who don't want this. A developed Bharat creates fear in the minds of vested interests...such forces will also not want Bharat to be strong and vibrant," the RSS chief said. Even well-meaning policies, statements from persons in government and administration were being misused to benefit nefarious designs by vested interests, he rued. "We must be alert in identifying these plots and counter them on intellectual and social levels," he said. Bhagwat said the world was eager to know if the 2019 elections in such a huge country will be conducted smoothly. "Democracy in India is not something imported from any country, but a practice which has been prevalent here since centuries," Bhagwat said. He said India's borders were now safer than ever, and more focus was needed on coastal security. "The number of guards and check-posts on land borders and surveillance along the maritime border, especially on islands, have to be increased," he said. On concerns over the economic sector, he said the slowing down of world economy has left its impact everywhere. "The government has taken initiatives to tide over the situation in the last one-and-a-half months. Our society is entrepreneurial and will overcome these challenges," he added. In the morning, Bhagwat performed 'shastra puja' at the Sangh's annual Vijayadashmi event here.
