During Delhi’s haze, the air 100 metres up can carry 60% more PM2.5 than the air at street level. Last October, cloud seeding flights went up without checking the clouds first and brought 0.2 mm of rain. Both come down to the same gap: we don’t measure the air above us. Last week, we joined start-ups and innovators at the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change to discuss Delhi-NCR’s air pollution. The interaction was chaired by Union Minister Bhupender Yadav. Our view was simple: drones can help decide where and when to act. Ground stations see only street level. Drones can measure the air up to a few hundred metres, show where pollution is concentrated, and help direct enforcement to those areas. The same data can guide cloud seeding: drones check moisture first, and seed only when the clouds can give rain. From the air, drones can also check industrial clusters, construction sites and crop-burning areas quickly, without adding to the load on field teams. Thank you MoEF&CC, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC) for the opportunity.

Another milestone in strengthening India’s indigenous defence capabilities. 🇮🇳 EndureAir has successfully delivered its ALAKH Kamikaze UAV, marking another step forward in our commitment to developing advanced, mission-oriented unmanned aerial systems for India’s defence forces. Designed to operate in challenging Electronic Warfare (EW) environments, ALAKH follows a Search, Detect and Destroy (SDD) operational approach, with capabilities focused on engaging high-value targets. Its mission-oriented design reflects our continued focus on developing indigenous solutions for evolving defence requirements. At EndureAir, we remain dedicated to advancing India's indigenous UAV ecosystem through engineering excellence, technological innovation, and a commitment to Atmanirbhar Bharat. Built in India. Engineered for the mission. 🇮🇳 #IndianArmy #MinistryOfDefence #MoD #IndianDefence #DefenceTech #DefenceIndustry #Drones #DroneTechnology #MilitaryDrones #DefenceDrones #UAV #CounterDrone #AtmanirbharBharat #MakeInIndia #IndigenousDefence #EagleInTheArm #ViksitBharat #JaiHind

What if help could reach someone stranded at sea within minutes? That is the question behind the SABAL 20 UAV, which our Flight Operations team recently demonstrated successfully in Kerala, operating at altitude over the coastal region and sea. With a 20 kg payload capacity and the ability to operate in gust conditions, SABAL-20 can support maritime rescue by delivering essential supplies to people in distress at sea and providing aerial visibility to assist rescue teams. This demonstration reflects our continued commitment to build uncrewed aerial solutions for real-world challenges. Which other humanitarian or emergency applications do you think UAVs can support? Share your thoughts in the comments. #SABAL20 #EndureAir #UAV #DroneTechnology #MaritimeOperations #MaritimeRescue #SearchAndRescue #AerialLogistics #EmergencyResponse #MadeInIndia

The 4th edition of the UP International Trade Show brought government, defence, industry and international delegates onto one platform. At the show, EndureAir displayed its SABAL-20 and SABAL-40 UAVs, built on indigenous technology. This is the direction the Uttar Pradesh Government is backing, with its focus on manufacturing, job creation and infrastructure. Building indigenous systems in India substitutes imports, keeps skilled jobs in the country and strengthens the economy. #UPITS2026 #UPInternationalTradeShow #EndureAir #UAV #Drones #DefenceManufacturing #DefenceTechnology #MakeInIndia #AatmanirbharBharat #UttarPradesh #IndianDefence

Our Co-founder & CEO,@menduramakrishn , speaks with @YourStoryCo about the technology behind our rotorcraft-based UAVs and how our drones are supporting the Indian Army’s high-altitude logistics operations. Watch the conversation and get a closer look at what we’re building at EndureAir. #EndureAir #DroneTechnology #DefenceTech #Aerospace #MadeInIndia
.@endureair builds rotorcraft-based drones, engineered with the same principles as a helicopter, not the typical multi-rotor design most drones use. That difference is why the Indian Army's Eastern Command has inducted its Sabal drone, resupplying posts at 15,000 feet where roads don't reach. Rama Krishna, Co-founder and CEO of EndureAir, breaks down the engineering with Shubhangi Mishra. This is the kind of ambition fueling India's New Tech Order.

That’s what a day in the field looks like. We test, learn, refine, and go again, because progress happens when you push beyond what’s comfortable. The drone may be in the sky, but it’s the people behind it who keep it moving. 🚁 #DroneTesting #UAV #EndureAir #Aerospace #MakeInIndia #DefenceTech #Drones

Carry the fleet. Deploy with purpose. Act where it matters. In unmanned missions, every kilometre spent reaching the objective consumes endurance that could be used inside the mission area. By carrying smaller UAVs through the initial leg, more of their onboard endurance remains available for surveillance, detection and mission execution where it is actually needed.
