India’s Ministry of Civil Aviation has officially introduced the Drone (Amendment) Rules 2023 aimed at supporting further industry growth. Among new content, the rules remove the requirement for a passport for drone operators, instead accepting government-issued proof of identity or proof of address, to apply for a remote pilot certificate. Previously a passport was mandatory for a such an application.
Industry observers welcome the changes. It is widely expected to encourage industry expansion in domains such as agriculture, site inspection and monitoring.
