According to a press statement released by the Press Information Bureau (PIB) in Ahmedabad, the letter was transported by drone from Habay village in Bhuj taluka to Ner village in Bhachau taluka of Kutch region by the postal department under the guidance of the Union Ministry of Communications.
Officials claimed on Sunday that the Department of Posts had carried mail using a drone for the first time as part of a trial project in Gujarat’s Kutch area, covering a distance of 46 kilometres in 25 minutes.
“With the success of this pilot project, postal delivery by drone will be conceivable in the future,” it stated.
According to the press release, the pilot study looked into the cost of drone delivery as well as the geographical distance between the two centres, as well as possible staff coordination during the delivery process, including potential bottlenecks.
It was also stated that if the experiment is financially successful, postal parcel delivery services will be speedier. Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched the “Bharat Drone Mahotsav 2022,” the country’s largest drone festival, on Friday, saying that drones will be used more in agriculture, sports, defence, and disaster management.
