This provisional list of PLI beneficiaries has been created based on the unaudited financial results for 2021-22 and other information.
Provided the shortlisted beneficiaries have crossed the eligibility criteria related to sales revenue and value addition in FY 2021-22.
Furthermore, the eligibility criteria for the PLI scheme for drones and drone components includes an annual sales turnover of INR 2 crore for drone companies and INR 50 lacs for drone components manufacturers; and value addition of over 40% of sales turnover. However the afore-mentioned companies’ combined annual sales turnover has seen an increase from INR 88 crore in FY 2020-21 to INR 319 crore (unaudited) in FY 2021-22.
The PLI scheme for drones and drone components was announced on 30th September 2021.
Under the scheme, a total incentive of INR 120 crore is spread over three financial years which is nearly double the combined turnover of all domestic drone manufacturers in FY 2020-21.
One special aspect of the drone PLI scheme is that the manufacturers who fail to meet the value addition threshold in 2021-22 will be allowed to claim the lost incentive in the subsequent year if they make up the shortfall in 2022-23.
The Government of India, apart from the PLI scheme, has carried out a series of reforms to make India a global drone hub by 2030.
These include notification of the liberalised Drone Rules, 2021; publishing of Drone Airspace Map 2021 which opens nearly 90% of Indian airspace as a green zone upto 400 feet, UAS Traffic Management (UTM) policy framework 2021; Drone Certification Scheme 2022 which makes it easier for drone manufacturers to obtain a type certificate; Drone Import Policy, 2022 which bans import of foreign-made drones; and the Drone (Amendment) Rules, 2022 which abolishes the requirement of a drone pilot licence for drone operations.
