Skye Air Mobility conducts a three-day drone delivery trial with Vegrow in Himachal Pradesh to deliver over 100 kgs of apples from farmland to the Vegrow Hub, therefore addressing a larger transportation problem that exists today.
Vegrow is the top fruit business in India. The company is in the business of selling fresh fruits and vegetables, with a $43 billion addressable market. Through partnerships, the tech platform collaborates with farmers by aggregating supply and selling to organized demand.
The 3-day trials began at Nichar in Kinnaur district of Himachal Pradesh, from 11th November to 14th November. Skye Air has used its most reliable UAV, Skye Ship One, to facilitate real-time deliveries. For the trials, Skye Ship One carried a payload of 5 kg per flight and 4–8 flights were scheduled for every day. Following the completion of these three days of trials, Vegrow shall be building up a business case to roll out drone deliveries at scale within the region.
