Lucknow gets its first DGCA-certified drone pilots centre
Uyes Inamdar, the Founder of Berry Avionics, in a company statement, said, “With the city having its own state-of-the-art training centre, we expect to see potentially high demand for our courses from Lucknow and across the state.”
This facility, recognised as a Remote Pilot Training Organisation (RPTO), is equipped to train over 1,000 students, professionals, and entrepreneurs each year. The centre provides specialised training in drone piloting and certification, helping participants pursue careers in various industries adopting drone technology.
Berry Avionics aims to expand its RPTO network to Greater Noida, Bhopal, Pune & Bangalore increasing its training capacity to over 7,500 by the end of 2025.
The centre will also play a vital role in supporting local industries, including agriculture, oil and gas, utilities, and mining, by training operators to integrate drones into their operations for enhanced efficiency and modernisation, Inamdar added.
