Due to changes in the environmental and geo-political conditions in recent times, the world is facing huge unprecedented challenges like Wildfires, Floods, Cyclones, Landslides, Famines, Global Pandemic, Terrorist Attacks, etc. The use of technology to address these challenges has become the need of the hour. Drone is one such technology which has started to play an instrumental role in everyday life. This latest and new age technology finds its application across industries. These includes but not limited to Border Surveillance, Drug Trafficking, Traffic Monitoring, Fire Fighting, Disaster Management, Reconnaissance, Rescue, Underwater Assignments, Oceanography, Weather Forecasting, LiDAR, Space Research, Terrain Mapping, GPS Navigation, Counter Terrorism, Coastguard Management, Mining Management and many more. It can be perceived as a force multiplier in special operations for Disaster Management forces. At the same time, it can act as a 3rd eye for the security forces during the national security crisis. Furthermore, the Indian government's increased efforts through the implementation of liberal policies and other initiatives, including drone shakti, a production-linked incentive scheme, increased air space, and others, are all collectively supporting the market's growth.

This move by the government not only places India on the world map of drone technology by making it "Atma Nirbhar" in the drones sector. But it will also help generate investment for the country under the "Make in India" initiative. On the backdrop of these positive developments, Nexgen Exhibitions Pvt. Ltd. Is organizing 5^th edition of Drone International Expo at Pragati Maidan, New Delhi, India on 04^th-05^th July 2024. The expo is organized along with 9th edition of International Police Expo & 8th Homeland Security Expo as it ensured the right audience for the exhibiting companies.

Drone International Expo is India's only dedicated and longest running expo for Drones, Anti Drones, LiDAR, Geospatial and Unmanned Systems (Land & Water). The Drones market in India is projected to generate a revenue of US$27.0m in the year 2024.This market segment is expected to experience an annual growth rate of 5.96% (CAGR 2024-2028).
