Polity & Governance / Technology Regulation
The Draft Civil Drone (Promotion and Regulation) Bill, 2025 seeks to replace the Drone Rules, 2021 with a stronger legal framework for unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) in India. It aims to balance innovation with safety and security.
Key provisions include mandatory registration through a Unique Identification Number (UIN), DGCA type certification for manufacturing and operations, and compulsory remote pilot certification.
The bill also introduces Digital Sky Zones: green zones for free flying, yellow zones requiring ATC clearance, and red zones needing central government permission.
By simplifying rules while ensuring accountability, the bill promotes drone industry growth alongside secure airspace management.
