Garuda Aerospace

Garuda Aerospace is an Indian original equipment manufacturer specialising in the design, assembly, and operation of uncrewed aerial systems (UAS). The organisation occupies a position in the mid-market segment of the aerospace value chain, providing low-to-medium altitude platforms for industrial and civilian applications. Its primary focus is on the digitisation of agricultural processes and infrastructure monitoring through autonomous hardware and proprietary flight control software. The organisation manages a diverse fleet of multi-rotor and fixed-wing drones, most notably the Kisan drone for precision pesticide spraying and crop health analysis. Its customer and partner base includes various Indian state government departments, agricultural cooperatives, and public sector undertakings. The firm has documented collaborations for surveillance and mapping projects, utilising high-definition sensors to generate geospatial data for urban planning and resource management. Prospective partners should verify the specific airworthiness certifications of the airframes relevant to their jurisdiction, as international regulatory compliance varies by model. It is essential to confirm the current status of their local service networks for maintenance and battery lifecycle management. Buyers should also audit the data security protocols governing the transmission and storage of sensitive survey information captured by the platforms.
