The Drone International Expo 2025 is set to take place from 31st July to 1st August 2025 at Bharat Mandapam, Pragati Maidan, New Delhi. Recognised as India’s leading exhibition dedicated to drone technology, this event will showcase innovations across a broad spectrum, including drones, anti-drone systems, unmanned aerial, land, and marine vehicles (UAVs), LiDAR systems, geospatial mapping, AI-powered navigation, advanced sensors, and software solutions.
Now in its sixth edition, the Drone International Expo has become a strategic platform for industry leaders, startups, government agencies, and defense representatives to engage and collaborate. It attracts a wide array of participants such as drone manufacturers, technology service providers, agri-tech firms, mapping and geospatial experts, logistics providers, and drone-as-a-service (DaaS) startups. With India’s drone economy rapidly expanding, the expo is a vital hub for business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-government (B2G) networking.
The two-day exhibition will be hosted at the state-of-the-art Bharat Mandapam, a world-class convention and exhibition centre that recently gained global attention during the G20 Summit. The venue offers the perfect infrastructure to highlight India’s growing capabilities in advanced technology, defense, and smart mobility.
This year’s edition will also highlight advancements in anti-drone defense systems, AI-enabled applications for navigation and surveillance, precision agriculture through UAVs, and the evolving role of drones in disaster response and logistics. With the Indian drone industry projected to reach a manufacturing potential of $23 billion by 2030, the expo plays a crucial role in driving innovation, fostering partnerships, and shaping the future of unmanned systems in the region.
Drone International Expo 2025 reaffirms India’s commitment to embracing cutting-edge drone and geospatial technologies, offering a dynamic platform where policy, innovation, and industry converge to define the next chapter in drone applications across sectors.
