A single drone in Bengaluru completes twice as many deliveries in just 5 minutes while cutting carbon emissions in half.
bigbasket's drone delivery experiment in South Bengaluru is giving us a glimpse into India's logistics future.
Just 2 drones are handling 40-50 orders daily in one apartment complex, showcasing how:
👉 Aerial delivery can dramatically improve logistics efficiency while being environmentally friendly.
If successful, this technology could expand the dark store delivery radius from 1.8km to 5km, potentially transforming how we think about urban logistics infrastructure.
While the service is set to expand to 20 more housing societies, the journey comes with several challenges:
📍 Current regulatory frameworks are incomplete, and companies need to navigate both federal aviation rules and local police notifications.
📍 Real estate developers aren't factoring drone logistics into building designs yet, but they'll need to start.
What makes this more practical is that it isn't raising costs for consumers.
The same BigBasket prices apply whether your order comes by road or air.
Our traffic-heavy cities might actually help India adopt drone deliveries faster than many Western countries.
The question is how quickly we can solve the regulatory and infrastructure challenges.
Are you excited about drones delivering to your neighborhood?
