Dhaksha Opens Kancheepuram Facility, Launches Two Agricultural Drones
Dhaksha Unmanned Systems has opened a new factory in Tamil Nadu to build drones.
The factory will make drones for farming, defence and business uses.
The company also introduced two new farming drones called the E10 Prime and E10 Eco.
The E10 Prime is connected with the Namo Drone Didi programme.
The E10 Eco is designed to be more affordable for small farmers and rural entrepreneurs.
A separate production line will make drones for defence work such as surveillance and logistics.
The facility will bring research, operations and technology partners together.
Dhaksha says the expansion will help India develop more of its own drone technology.
Dhaksha Unmanned Systems inaugurated a manufacturing facility in Aymicheri, Kancheepuram, Tamil Nadu.
The facility is intended to support larger UAV programmes across agriculture, defence and enterprise applications.
Dhaksha launched the DH Agrigator E10 Prime and DH Agrigator E10 Eco agricultural drones.
