Andhra Pradesh launches drone mart portal to boost agriculture and infrastructure services

Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu officially launched the AP Drone Mart portal at the State Secretariat on Monday, marking a significant step forward for Andhra Pradesh in the mainstreaming of drone technology.

The Andhra Pradesh Drone Corporation is leading the initiative, which aims to increase access to drone-based services in critical areas like public safety, infrastructure, agriculture, and disaster response. The portal intends to provide precision drone capabilities throughout the state, ranging from aerial surveys and land mapping to real-time crop health monitoring and pesticide spraying.

During the launch event, the Chief Minister emphasized his goal of integrating drone technology into grassroots service delivery by saying, “For technology to benefit the masses, it must be made accessible and affordable“.

The platform’s direct link between users and authorized drone service providers is one of its most notable features. The process is made more flexible and transparent by the ability for individuals, farmers, private businesses, and even government agencies to schedule drone services on demand, customize their needs, and bargain directly with providers over prices.

The portal facilitates a variety of activities outside of agriculture, including environmental mapping, infrastructure audits, security surveillance, and construction site inspections. What was previously only available for specific use cases is now being made accessible to stakeholders in the public and private sectors.

Chief Secretary K. Vijayanand and Secretary (ITE&C) Katamneni Bhaskar were among the officials who attended the launch. They emphasized how the portal could position Andhra Pradesh as a national leader in drone-driven governance and smart services.

Andhra Pradesh is creating an ecosystem where drone technology can be used as a tool for inclusive development and practical impact with this launch, going beyond simply implementing drones.
