Drone Manufacturing in India – A Sky of Opportunities
The Indian drone market is projected to reach INR 15,000 crore by 2026, with policy reforms, PLI incentives, and civil-military use cases boosting demand. From micro-drones for inspections to long-range drones for surveillance and delivery, the potential is vast.
Manufacturers supplying drone frames, navigation systems, batteries, sensors, software, or full drones are seeing increased B2B and government demand. Brands like ideaForge & Garuda Aerospace have already made a mark. Legal registration is the first step toward building such a respected company.
Choosing the Right Business Structure for Drone Manufacturing
To gain investor trust, apply for tenders, export products, or partner with government agencies, your business must have a proper structure. Let us walk you through the three most suitable legal formats.
Private Limited Company
This is the preferred model for drone startups. It provides:
- Limited liability
- Access to venture capital
- Recognition by government bodies
- Better regulatory credibility
Most companies in defense-tech, aviation, and aerospace domains operate as Private Limited Companies due to investor and compliance expectations.
One Person Company (OPC)
Perfect for drone developers or solo entrepreneurs building drone hardware or AI-based software solutions. OPC allows one person to form a registered business with limited liability.
Limited Liability Partnership (LLP)
Suitable for two or more founders working on collaborative drone technology—such as navigation systems or payload modules. LLPs offer tax benefits and flexible internal management.
At Filing Point, we advise avoiding Sole Proprietorship, Public Limited Company, doorstep DSC services, and Shops & Establishment Licenses. They are not ideal for modern tech startups.
Step-by-Step Guide to Register a Drone Manufacturing Company in India
Step 1: Select the Ideal Legal Structure
Our consultants assess your needs, investor plans, and team composition to recommend either a Private Limited Company, OPC, or LLP.
Step 2: Decide on a Unique Company Name
Your name should reflect your innovation and avoid confusion with existing businesses. We help you check availability and reserve your name using SPICe+ Part A.
Step 3: Obtain DSC (Digital Signature Certificate)
DSCs are required to digitally sign your incorporation documents. We help you complete the DSC process quickly through an authorized provider.
Step 4: Get Director Identification Number (DIN)
DINs are mandatory for company directors. We collect your KYC documents and submit the request to obtain your DIN from the Ministry of Corporate Affairs.
Step 5: Draft MOA and AOA for Drone Activities
We draft your Memorandum of Association (MOA) and Articles of Association (AOA) to include manufacturing, assembling, programming, and trading drones, drone parts, or related services.
Step 6: File SPICe+ Form for Incorporation
Our team prepares and submits the final application using SPICe+ Part B, including:
- Certificate of Incorporation (COI)
- Company PAN and TAN
- Default PF and ESI registration
- Optional GST registration
Once approved, you will receive your CIN, COI, PAN, and TAN, making your drone company legally registered.
Open a Current Account in Your Company Name
A current account in the name of your drone company helps manage payments from clients, government departments, or international partners. Filing Point supports you with bank coordination and required documentation.
MSME (Udyam) Registration for Drone Startups
As a drone manufacturer or service provider, registering as an MSME under Udyam opens access to:
- Government tenders
- Subsidies for R&D and machinery
- Collateral-free bank loans
- Tax rebates and invoice protection
Filing Point assists in registering your entity under MSME norms—an important step for all drone startups.

IEC – Import Export Code for Global Drone Sales
If your company plans to sell drone parts, batteries, flight controllers, or complete drone systems internationally, you will need an Import Export Code (IEC). This is issued by the DGFT (Directorate General of Foreign Trade).
Filing Point helps you apply for IEC so you can:
- Export drones to foreign clients
- Import technology components
- Participate in international defense tenders
GST Registration for Drone Companies
Drone manufacturers, software providers, and service integrators must register for GST to:
- Issue valid invoices
- Claim input tax credit
- File monthly/quarterly returns
- Supply to government and private clients
We help complete your GST registration and handle ongoing compliance, so you can stay focused on innovation.
Mandatory Compliance After Registration
Annual ROC Filings
Every registered drone company must file:
- AOC-4: Financial statements
- MGT-7: Annual returns
- DIR-3 KYC: Director updates
- ADT-1: Auditor details
Filing Point ensures that these filings are completed accurately and on time.
Accounting and Bookkeeping
Drone companies require financial clarity due to R&D expenses, component procurement, and grants. Our team provides:
- Monthly financial reports
- Ledger maintenance
- TDS and GST calculations
- Tax filing
Registered Drone Companies Making an Impact
These Indian companies began with the right legal setup:
- ideaForge – Surveillance drones used by defense and police
- Garuda Aerospace – Agriculture drones and delivery models
They followed the legal path—registration, GST, MSME, IEC, and regulatory approvals. You can follow in their footsteps with our expert assistance.
