In the coming 18 months, the company is aiming to sell 25,000 drones and export 10,000 drones to around 100 countries in the coming 15 months.
Recently, Garuda sent its drones to provide support in the ongoing earthquake relief and rescue efforts in Turkey. It was also deployed for delivering medicines and vaccination during covid-19 outbreak in India.
