AVPL International, a prominent player in the drone manufacturing industry, has revealed plans to establish a cutting-edge drone manufacturing facility in Bihar, with an investment of Rs 15 crore. Situated in the Bihta Industrial Area, the facility will span 16,000 square feet and is expected to have an annual production capacity of up to 24,000 drones. This expansion comes in response to the surging demand for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) across various industries, including agriculture, defense, logistics, and surveillance. The facility will enable AVPL to meet the needs of both domestic and international markets, solidifying its position as a leader in the drone technology sector.
Empowering Local Communities and Creating Employment Opportunities
Beyond its role in advanced manufacturing, AVPL’s new facility is designed to create a significant social and economic impact in the region. The company anticipates generating employment for approximately 10,000 local youth, providing opportunities for skill development in high-tech sectors. This includes hiring 200 in-house employees for specialized roles in manufacturing, engineering, and operations. The initiative is expected to contribute to the local economy, reduce unemployment, and empower local communities by fostering drone entrepreneurship. The new plant will also offer training programs, incubators, and hands-on experiences, helping to create a new generation of drone professionals.
AVPL International’s Continued Growth in India
Since its inception in 2016, AVPL International has seen rapid growth, expanding its footprint across more than 12 states in India. The company has set up over 70 skill development and incubation hubs, providing a platform for aspiring entrepreneurs and young professionals to hone their skills in drone technology. This new project in Bihar marks a significant milestone in AVPL’s ongoing commitment to innovation, job creation, and regional development. By establishing this advanced manufacturing hub, the company aims to not only strengthen India’s position in the global drone market but also contribute to the country’s broader goals of technological advancement and economic growth.
