India’s Ministry of Civil Aviation has launched its online platform for drone registration. Digital Sky has gone live for commercial and personal operators after over two years of consultations and revisions, following recognition in April 2016 that the country’s drone policy was inadequate. Suresh Prabhu, the Minister for Civil Aviation, tweeted on Saturday that online registration for drone operations is now live on the Digital Sky portal. The new registration system is designed to make it easier for people who want to fly drones commercially or privately to register their drones. Drones have also been classified into weights, with the smallest nano versions less than 250 grams and the heaviest identified as above 150 kilograms.
