Police Expo 2025: The sixth International Drone Expo happened in Delhi at Bharat Mandapam and it focused on how drones are becoming more and more useful in India. The event lasted two days and showed different kinds of drones doing live demonstrations. People watched how drones can help in many things like watching over large crowds, delivering things, checking fields for farming, and even spraying crops. Companies from India and other countries brought their drones, and they showed how these flying machines can be used both for safety and farming or other daily work.
Many Indian companies now want to make drones fully in India, reducing their need for foreign parts. Vyom, a drone maker active for over ten years, already assembles its drones locally and is now working to build frames and circuit boards in India too. Their drones use MicroSense Red HP cameras to capture images in different light types.

These pictures help farmers know if any part of their crop is in trouble. The company also gives mapping software that shows a clear picture of what’s happening in the field. Some of these drones are even being used to teach children about drones in schools, including government schools, so that kids can learn about this technology early.
New Technology with better Drones
Artificial intelligence played a big role in the expo. The drones that were shown can now think on their own in some ways. They can understand what they see and only warn the human operator when something serious is happening. This saves time and doesn’t need too many people to control the drones. One company named The ePlane Company, which comes from IIT Madras, brought their Amberwings drone range to the event.
Their drones can go straight up in the air and then fly like a plane, which helps them go longer distances using less power. One model called the ATVA‑1, which got approved by DGCA, can carry up to 6 kg and fly as far as 100 km in one hour. It flies at around 90 km per hour and is useful for delivering items in cities and also in army work. Another drone shown was the Vihaa drone, made for farming. It has a 10-liter tank and can spray over 30 acres in a single day, which is much faster than people doing it by hand.
Accordig to BW Businessworld, a company person from ePlane said, “Our drones can define regions of interest and only alert when a real threat or target is detected.” They also said that because the drones have their own computer, they don’t need to send all the data to the cloud, which means they are faster and also make fewer mistakes.

Another company, Indo Wing, based in Noida, showed their CyberOne drones, which are made for things like watching over places and tracking moving things. They brought two versions, CyberOne Lite and CyberOne Pro. The smaller one, CyberOne Lite, is light and can fly for 45 minutes with a 1 kg payload, and can go as far as 3 to 4 km. The Pro version can go up to 7 km, carry 2 kg, and fly for a full hour. These drones can carry cameras that see heat, special sensors, and can even drop small payloads if needed.
A person from the company said, “Once a target—be it a vehicle or a human—is locked, the drone autonomously follows it until the mission concludes.” The company also shared that they already gave 700 drones to the army and other defense groups just in the last one month.
