Education only, no services
Civil drone logistics
What it is
Point-to-point transport of approved goods using a drone logistics system rather than a survey or imaging mission.
India direction
India has seen corridor- and route-specific drone logistics pilots and services. Wider use depends on the approved operating model, aircraft, route, ground handling and current aviation requirements rather than a blanket permission.
Why it matters
It can shorten access time for selected remote or time-sensitive routes, but reliability, custody, handover and airspace integration are the hard operating problems.
Scope boundary
Lotusmirk does not offer civil drone delivery through this catalogue. Related mapping, route analysis and software can be live services, but they do not authorise a delivery operation.
