InsideFPV Powers India’s Defence Push with INR 10 Crore EPR Drone Contract

Drone technology manufacturer InsideFPV has successfully executed a defence contract of INR 10 crore to supply its indigenous kamikaze drones. Driven by the Indian Ministry of Defence under the Emergency Procurement Route (EPR), the company fulfilled these high-stakes supply orders within a rapid two-month timeframe.

Recognized as a pioneer in India’s FPV and kamikaze drone sector, InsideFPV focuses on systems designed for GPS-denied zones and extreme environments. Rather than building drones around subsidy programs, the company has engineered its platforms for real-world deployment conditions. The result is tactical hardware that performs reliably across India’s terrain extremes—from -35°C in mountainous regions to 50°C in plains and deserts.

Arth Chowdhary, CEO, InsideFPV, stated, “Our kamikaze and FPV systems were engineered specifically for India’s harshest deployment environments, functioning reliably in temperatures as low as -35°C. Executing this order in just two months proves that we can meet the Ministry of Defence’s exact operational timelines without compromising on volume or precision.”

To support this accelerated delivery pace and manage increased procurement mandates, the Gujarat-based firm is transitioning its manufacturing operations to a 20,000 sq ft facility, scaling production from hundreds to thousands of units. This expansion will enable the company to meet strict military deadlines while advancing the national mandate to reduce reliance on foreign-origin components.

The INR 10 crore rapid-execution contract reflects a larger trend in India’s defence procurement patterns. The government is increasingly favoring domestic manufacturers that can deliver precision unmanned systems quickly and at scale. Beyond its core kamikaze units, InsideFPV is investing in R&D for interceptor systems, swarm technology, and GPS-denied navigation, while also working on strategic international MoUs to expand beyond Indian borders.
