It is now Bengalurus turn to get spotted on the drone-delivery map with Hyderabad-based Scandron Pvt Ltd partnering with Bengaluru-based company CriticaLog India Pvt Ltd to fly out organs.
About 20-25 drones will be deployed in Bengaluru alone. At present, these can handle a payload of 5kg-20kg, at an operational speed of 12 metres per second, powered by lithium ion batteries.
A PARTNERSHIP worth Rs 600 crore was signed on Wednesday to provide drone-based logistics solutions in 160 cities across India, including Bengaluru, thereby eventually aiming to do away with ambulances and green corridors.
