This significant achievement has been conferred upon Marut Drones for its versatile AG-365S multi-utility agricultural drone, weighing less than 25kg and specifically designed for Indian agricultural conditions.
The AG-365S drone promises to be a game-changer in Indian agriculture, offering a flight endurance of 22 minutes. Its compact design packs a punch, making it an ideal choice for farmers across the country. What sets the AG-365S apart is its versatility. It can be used for multiple agricultural purposes, including pesticide spraying, granular spreading, and even running drone training academies.
Safety is paramount, and the AG-365S comes equipped with advanced obstacle and terrain sensors, ensuring smooth and secure operations even in challenging landscapes. The certification process involved rigorous testing to ensure the drone's reliability and safety.
This certification opens doors for innovative and humane agricultural practices. Manual spraying in agriculture can be hazardous, but the AG-365S offers a safer alternative, reducing health risks for operators. Furthermore, it creates employment opportunities in rural areas, with drone entrepreneurs using this technology potentially earning between Rs. 40,000 to Rs. 90,000.
The DGCA certification also makes AG-365S eligible for ₹10 lakh unsecured loans from the Agri Infrastructure Fund at a minimal 5-6% interest rate, further supporting the growth of drone entrepreneurs in the agricultural sector.
Marut Drones envisions a future where drone technology empowers rural entrepreneurs. Their extensive network of exclusive dealers ensures that this innovative technology reaches farmers across the country. With research partnerships and collaborations with educational institutes, Marut Drones is poised to lead the way in agricultural technology development, aiming to empower 5 lakh drone entrepreneurs in rural areas.
Marut Drones' DGCA-certified AG-365S isn't just a drone; it's a beacon of hope for the farming community, promising safer, more efficient, and more sustainable agricultural practices.
