Coromandel International’s subsidiary -- Dhaksha Unmanned Systems has inaugurated its new manufacturing facility at Aymicheri region in Kancheepuram, Tamil Nadu, marking an important step in strengthening India’s indigenous drone manufacturing capabilities in agriculture, defence and enterprise. The facility will support the development and execution of larger and complex programmes across its key UAV verticals, while enabling greater indigenisation of critical technologies and strengthening its ability to serve evolving customer requirements.

Dhaksha Unmanned Systems is also expanding its sourcing and service ecosystem, including its network of service centres, to support its growing operations. The facility will act as a platform for collaboration across the drone value chain, enabling technology partners to combine complementary capabilities and accelerate the development of an integrated drone manufacturing ecosystem under one roof.

During this, Dhaksha Unmanned Systems announced the launch of two new agricultural drone models, the DH Agrigator E10 Prime and DH Agrigator E10 Eco. Developed with indigenous components, the E10 Prime aligns with the Namo Drone Didi programme and supports India’s growing domestic drone ecosystem, while the E10 Eco offers an affordable solution designed to expand access to drone-based farming services for small and marginal farmers and rural entrepreneurs.
