Mar 25: Global UAV technology leader EFT has announced a strategic co-brand partnership with Bharat Skytech Private Limited (BSPL) to launch EFT BHARAT, marking the localisation of manufacturing, service, and distribution for its flagship agricultural drone E610P in India.
As part of this collaboration, EFT has officially commenced Make in India production of the E610P agricultural drone, with BSPL serving as the designated manufacturing and distribution partner. The initiative represents a significant step in EFT’s long-term commitment to the Indian drone ecosystem and its effort to combine global engineering expertise with India’s growing manufacturing capabilities.
To ensure seamless localisation while maintaining global quality standards, EFT has completed the formal transfer of official production moulds for the E610P’s tank and canopy components to BSPL. This technology transfer ensures that the India-manufactured drones maintain the original design integrity, engineering precision, and performance standards that EFT’s agricultural platforms are known for globally.
The collaboration is expected to accelerate the development of India’s agri-drone ecosystem, enabling faster deliveries, improved service support, and wider availability of genuine EFT components and spare parts. By integrating local manufacturing and supply chains, the initiative will also generate demand for Indian vendors, create skilled employment opportunities, and strengthen the country’s UAV manufacturing ecosystem.
Commercially, the India-manufactured E610P under the EFT BHARAT brand will provide customers with improved supply chain reliability, structured warranty support, and lifecycle service delivered through BSPL’s authorised service network trained to EFT’s global standards. Enterprise customers and institutional partners will benefit from joint product demonstrations, customised deployment solutions, and integrated after-sales support.
Speaking on the collaboration, Sweety Liu, CEO, EFT said:
“The launch of EFT BHARAT represents a major milestone in our long-term commitment to the Indian market. By combining EFT’s globally proven UAV technology with India’s strong manufacturing capabilities, we aim to build solutions for India, in India. This partnership ensures that Indian farmers and industry stakeholders have access to reliable, future-ready agricultural drone platforms designed to address the country’s unique farming needs.”
Gurmeet Singh, CEO of Bharat Skytech Private Limited, added:
“We are proud to partner with EFT for this landmark Make in India initiative. EFT’s leadership in UAV technology is globally recognised, and the transfer of production moulds and engineering expertise to India will enable us to scale responsibly while maintaining the authentic quality of EFT products. Through EFT BHARAT, we look forward to bringing advanced agricultural drone technology closer to farmers and enterprises across India.”
The EFT BHARAT initiative marks the beginning of EFT’s broader localisation roadmap in India, with plans to deepen manufacturing capabilities and strengthen the domestic UAV supply chain in the coming years.
