Relying on unpredictable manual labor during peak pest attacks has long undermined farm productivity, especially when timely spraying decides the fate of an entire season’s yield. Despite India’s push for mechanization, most small and medium farmers struggle to access precision spraying tools, delaying the adoption of technology that could boost efficiency and reduce waste.
As rural labor shortages intensify and agrochemical application remains uneven and excessive, the economic cost of traditional methods becomes unsustainable. Now, with regulatory clarity from DGCA and demand swelling for on-demand services, agriculture drones are moving from novelty to necessity, projected to cross $1 billion in market size by 2030. Stepping decisively into this transition is Pavaman Aviation.
A certified manufacturer and remote pilot training company, Pavaman Aviation builds legal, reliable UAV solutions tailored to India’s agronomic and operational realities. It offers a fleet of DGCA-type certified Teja-S drones, a part of its small-category agricultural spray segment, along with advanced software tools for scheduling, data-driven spraying, mapping, and surveillance.
“We introduce drone spraying services to eliminate dependence on manual labor and ensure timely, efficient crop protection”, says Vijay Babu, Senior Manager, Pavaman Aviation. “With our technology, we’ve reduced water usage by 90 percent, cut spraying time from hours to just six minutes per acre, and lowered pesticide consumption by 30 percent”, Vijay adds. In addition, the company will soon launch the Teja-M medium category drone, which is undergoing the type certification.
Manufacturing, Software, & Services
Pavaman Aviation's in-house R&D and manufacturing facility near Hyderabad spans the full cycle, from drone design and testing to monthly production capacity of up to 300 drones. Each system is DGCA-certified and supported by Indigenous software. Ensuring alignment with local agricultural patterns and regulatory requirements. Farmers can access spraying services via a seamless digital booking interface, selecting dates and confirming next-day deployment. Furthermore, the company is working on developing FPV drones, Fixed-wing drones for the defense sector.
At the back end, it runs an approved Remote Pilot Training Organization (RPTO) that has certified over 300 drone pilots. By training and deploying a network of skilled operators across the country, the company alleviates the fear of negotiating with untrained seasonal workers, which usually leads to uneven application. Precision spraying uniformly coats even the underside of crop canopies, translating into tangible yield improvement.
Pavaman Aviation collaborates with agricultural universities like SKLTSHU and state agriculture departments to develop SOPs for drone-based spraying. These partnerships ensure that researchers, extension officers, and students are equipped with field-validated methods that reflect actual crop conditions. The company also guides clients through equipment procurement, subsidy applications, and best operational practices.

Enabling the Next- Generation Agri Business Model
The company offers dual pathways, one for agri-entrepreneurs who want to buy the drone and earn from spraying services, and another for farmers who wish to access it as an on-demand utility. In either case, it ensures the experience remains standardized, legal, and outcome focused.
With each flight capable of covering one acre in six minutes, versus several hours manually, and reducing both water and pesticide usage, Pavaman Aviation's drones are engineered to generate a measurable return on investment. The company avoids the hardware commodification trap by embedding support services, training, and feedback-driven product evolution into its offerings. These ecosystem enablers foster long-term relationships with customers and promote adoption through demonstrated impact.
Its focus remains clear, which is to deliver customized, cost-effective UAV solutions that align with real-world farming conditions and business objectives. It actively involves its clients in shaping product evolution and supports them with tools that promote both profitability and sustainability. In doing so, Pavaman can build an infrastructure of trust, compliance, and performance that agricultural India can lean on.
