Kisan Drone
Garuda AerospaceThe Kisan Drone is an agricultural UAV manufactured by Garuda Aerospace (Chennai, India), designed for precision spraying of chemicals and fertilizers, crop monitoring, and data-driven farm intelligence. It carries an 8 kg rated payload, has ~7 minutes of endurance under full load, and is equipped with AI, ML, and GPS sensors for automated flight paths and terrain tracking. The drone is operated by trained pilots (including women trained under the Drone Didi scheme) who fly pre-planned missions; the task is performed autonomously by the drone once mission parameters are set, though a human pilot is present and supervising. Several facts extracted relate to unrelated products (DroneMobile vehicle subscriptions, DJI Agras accessories) and have been excluded from the Kisan Drone synthesis.

Evidence-graded claims from the Garuda Aerospace deep report
Garuda Aerospace's IPO has been delayed twice and its H1 FY26 revenue of ~₹41 crore leaves a ₹120–₹170 crore gap to meet H2 guidance, with the company valued at ~20x FY25 revenue and ~140x earnings.
An independent pre-IPO financial analysis (sharescart.com) [6] provides specific revenue figures, valuation multiples, and explicitly documents two IPO delays — this is the most data-specific independent source in the dossier and directly contradicts the vendor's implied strong financial trajectory.
from Garuda Aerospace deep report →Garuda Aerospace holds DGCA certification for its drones and operates a DGCA-approved Remote Pilot Training Organisation (RPTO).
DGCA certification and RPTO status are confirmed by Garuda's official site [1][5] and independently corroborated by The Hindu's reporting [4][11] and eVTOL Insights [10], which reference the regulatory framework; however, ISO/AS9100 certifications are claimed only on the official blog and startup directory without independent verification [5][12].

Garuda Aerospace has conducted real-world deployments including flood rescue operations (Assam, J&K, Himachal Pradesh), Turkey earthquake relief, an ISRO order, and mining-sector AI-drone contracts.
These deployments are cited across official press releases and some independent news sources [9][12], but no independent third-party field report, government confirmation, or customer outcome data verifies operational scale, effectiveness, or contract value for any of these missions.
from Garuda Aerospace deep report →PM Modi launched 100 Garuda Aerospace drones simultaneously.
The event is cited in official Garuda press materials [9] and corroborated by independent news sources as having occurred, but no independent technical assessment confirms the simultaneous autonomous coordination capability this implies, nor is the operational context (demo vs. live deployment) independently verified.
from Garuda Aerospace deep report →Garuda Aerospace's Kisan Agri Drone and other platforms feature AI-powered farm intelligence, precision spraying, LiDAR, thermal sensors, and real-time data transmission.
These capabilities are described on Garuda's official product pages and blog [2][5][8] and echoed by a startup directory [12], but no independent benchmark test, peer-reviewed study, or third-party customer review substantiates actual field performance or accuracy of these features.
from Garuda Aerospace deep report →
Garuda Aerospace has strategic partnerships with Lockheed Martin, HAL, and Thales.
The partnership claims originate exclusively from a startup directory (startupintros.com) [12], not from press releases by Lockheed Martin, HAL, or Thales, nor from any independent investigative source; the nature and depth of any agreement (MoU, supply contract, co-development) remains entirely unspecified.
