REGULATIONS / IN
インドのドローン規制と点検
インドはDrone Rules 2021（2022年改正）で規制しています。すべての機体はDigital SkyでUIN（固有識別番号）の登録が必要で、運用には型式証明も要ります（ナノ機などは免除）。操縦者は認定訓練機関（RPTO）が発行する遠隔操縦者証明が必要ですが、ナノ機と非商用のマイクロ機は不要です。空域は緑・黄・赤のゾーンに分かれ、緑ゾーンは120 mまで許可不要、黄ゾーンと赤ゾーンは事前許可が必要です。目視外飛行・夜間・人の近くの規則は公式資料で確認できていません。2025年9月には、懲役刑や保険義務を含む民間ドローン法案の草案が意見募集されましたが、まだ成立していません。

| 当局 | インド民間航空総局 (DGCA)、民間航空省 (MoCA) / Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA); Ministry of Civil Aviation (MoCA) |
| 主な法令 | Drone Rules, 2021 (notified 25 August 2021) as amended by the Drone (Amendment) Rules, 2022 (GSR 108(E), 11 February 2022), administered through the Digital Sky platform. A Certification Scheme for Unmanned Aircraft Systems was notified on 26 January 2022. The draft Civil Drone (Promotion and Regulation) Bill, 2025 was put out for comment from 16 to 30 September 2025. It would replace the rule-based regime with an Act, but it is not law, and its later status was not checked (not verified against an official source, 2026-10-22). |
| 登録 | Every drone must be registered on Digital Sky and given a Unique Identification Number (UIN) before it is operated, unless an exemption applies. Manufacturers and importers can generate UINs by self-certification. A type certificate is needed to operate a drone in India, except for nano drones and model or R&D drones. Testing for type certification is done by the Quality Council of India or authorised testing entities. |
| リモートID | The Drone Rules introduce 'No Permission, No Take-off' (NPNT), real-time tracking beacons and geo-fencing as required safety features, to be notified later with a six-month compliance window for industry. Whether they have been notified and are enforced was not checked (not verified against an official source, 2026-10-22). |
| 操縦資格 | The 2022 amendment replaced the Remote Pilot Licence with a Remote Pilot Certificate, issued by a DGCA-authorised Remote Pilot Training Organisation (RPTO) and listed on Digital Sky. No certificate is needed for nano drones or for micro drones used non-commercially. Eligibility: age 18-65 and Class 10 education. The certificate is valid for 10 years. R&D entities, educational institutions, recognised start-ups and manufacturers are exempt from type certificate, UIN, permission and pilot certificate for R&D operations. |
| リスク区分 | By maximum all-up weight: nano ≤250 g, micro >250 g-2 kg, small >2-25 kg, medium >25-150 kg, large >150 kg. Airspace zones on the Digital Sky map: green, where no permission is needed for drones up to 500 kg (up to 400 ft/120 m, or 200 ft/60 m in the 8-12 km band around airports); yellow, where the relevant ATC authority must give permission; and red, a no-drone zone needing Central Government permission. The yellow zone around airports was cut from 45 km to 12 km. |
| 目視外飛行（BVLOS） | The 2022 MoCA backgrounder on the Drone Rules does not cover BVLOS, and the draft 2025 Bill leaves BVLOS to future rules. Case-by-case BVLOS permissions or trials were not checked (not verified against an official source, 2026-10-22). |
| 夜間・人の上空 | (not verified against an official source, 2026-10-22) |
| 構造物の近く | Infrastructure limits work through the airspace zones. Red zones (no-drone zones, including temporary ones) and yellow zones need permission. Operators must check the Digital Sky airspace map before each flight because it can change. No specific rule on structures, power lines or railways was found (not verified against an official source, 2026-10-22). |
| 屋内・閉鎖空間 | (not verified against an official source, 2026-10-22) |
| 撮影・プライバシー | Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023 may apply; it was not reviewed. The draft 2025 Bill contains no specific privacy provision. (not verified against an official source, 2026-10-22) |
| 最近の変更 | 2022: the Remote Pilot Licence became a Remote Pilot Certificate issued by RPTOs (11 February 2022); the UAS Certification Scheme was notified (26 January 2022); the maximum penalty under the Drone Rules is INR 1 lakh. A ban on importing foreign-made drones, announced in February 2022 with exceptions for R&D, defence and security, is reported in secondary sources only (not verified against an official source, 2026-10-22). 2025: the draft Civil Drone (Promotion and Regulation) Bill, 2025 was published for consultation in September 2025. It would make UIN registration, type certificates, remote pilot certificates, third-party insurance (with fixed compensation amounts) and red/yellow/green zones statutory. It would add prison terms (up to 3 years for zone violations), allow officers to detain drones for 3-7 days, and exclude UAS over 500 kg (left to the Bharatiya Vayuyan Adhiniyam, 2024). |
