New Delhi/IBNS: The Ministry of Civil Aviation has requested several ministries including the Home Affairs to encourage various entities under their administrative control to promote the use of drones.

"Drones offer tremendous benefits to almost all sectors of the economy like -agriculture, medicine delivery, mining, infrastructure, surveillance, emergency response, transportation, geo-spatial mapping, defence and law enforcement etc," the ministry said in a statement.

As per Drone Rules, 2021, the operation of drones in zones marked red and yellow on the drone airspace map zones requires permission from the Central Government and the Air Traffic Control (ATC) authority respectively.

No permission is required to operate a drone in a green zone which is where most of the drone operations currently happen, the statement added.
