INDIA PROHIBITING DRONE IMPORTS BLOCKS A GIANT IN CHINA


IMPORT OF SOME DRONE COMPONENTS WILL BE ALLOWED WITHOUT ANY APPROVAL, INDIA'S
DIRECTORATE GENERAL OF FOREIGN TRADE SAID IN AN ORDER LATE ON WEDNESDAY.

India banned the import of drones, a move that effectively blocks an emerging
market for China's SZ DJI Technology Co., the world's top dronemaker, and
encourages a nascent local industry to ramp up production.

Import of some drone components will be allowed without any approval, India's
Directorate General of Foreign Trade said in an order late on Wednesday. Drones
used for research and development, defense, and security purposes will be exempt
from the ban, the government said.

India is among several countries across the world that are trying to look for
alternatives to China for products and components, as the pandemic and global
trade tensions amplify a need to diversify supply chain and limit risk. India
and China are engaged in a protracted standoff along their disputed Himalayan
border.

Amid the continuing disputes between China and US, drones have taken center
stage as concerns surface that Shenzhen-based DJI may be relaying some sensitive
data to Chinese intelligence agencies on everything from critical infrastructure
like bridges and dams, as well as personal information such as heart rates and
facial recognition.

India last year relaxed rules on the use of drones to make it easier to acquire
licenses and allowed heavier payloads so the devices can potentially be used as
unmanned flying taxis. India will offer 1.2 billion rupees ($16 million) of
incentives for drone makers under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's $20 billion
plan to lure the world's biggest brands to make their products in India and
export them to the world.

Hovering drones have become immensely popular in Bollywood-style Indian
weddings, holidays to exotic places, and in the filming of movies, even though
they were illegal just a few years ago. After Covid started its deadly streak in
India, oil refiner Bharat Petroleum Corp. began flying drones over acres of land
to record behavior of workers to ensure they were following social-distancing
rules. In March 2020, budget carrier SpiceJet Ltd. said it planned to use drones
for the delivery of medical and essential supplies along with e-commerce
products.

Rattanindia Enterprises Ltd., a local dronemaker, said India's move will help in
making the South Asian nation a drone manufacturing hub. The new rules will
allow better efficiency in supply chain operations, inventory and fund
management, the company said in a statement Thursday.

The pandemic has intensified a shift to automated delivery for meals, groceries,
medical supplies and other essentials, boosting the drone industry.
Autonomous-vehicle companies, delivery startups and drone operators have all
touted the benefits of contactless systems.
