Maharashtra’s government announces it will set up a task force to implement the state’s drone policy. The decision is linked to strengthening the drone ecosystem and coordinating government support for industry activities.
Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis says the policy is intended to bolster the existing drone ecosystem and to help current companies while also attracting new investments. Other reporting adds that the task force is meant to consolidate state backing for a fast-growing sector, including support across the value chain.
According to Business Line, the focus includes manufacturing, research, testing and defence-related capabilities. The Hindu similarly frames the task force as a means for the government to support ongoing industry development and increase investment, though it does not detail the specific functional areas. Together, the reports indicate the task force will play a coordinating role as the state looks to scale drone production and capabilities.
