Precision-engineered agricultural drone designed for high-performance spraying

Capable of covering up to 30 acres per day with uniform and accurate application

Equipped with intelligent radar-based navigation and autonomous mission capability

Developed with over four decades of engineering and manufacturing expertise

Mumbai, India : Jyoti Global Plast today announced the launch of the AeroCrop Agricultural UAS, a drone developed to advance precision agriculture through dependable, accurate and high output field performance. The company, known for more than forty years of expertise in precision plastic and FRP moulding, has steadily expanded into unmanned systems and now brings its manufacturing strength to the agricultural sector with a platform built to address the real operational needs of farmers across the country.

The AeroCrop system has been engineered with close attention to reliability in field conditions. It delivers up to 29 minutes of flight time without payload and 22 minutes with payload, supported by a strong 27.5 kilogram maximum take-off weight. The aircraft carries a 10 liter tank that works with flat jet and centrifugal nozzles to ensure consistent droplet quality and even spraying. Its efficiency allows it to cover one acre in five to eight minutes, enabling up to 30 acres of spraying in a single day while keeping chemical wastage low and coverage uniform across different terrains.

A key strength of AeroCrop is its intelligent radar-based navigation system, which helps the drone maintain constant height, follow terrain profiles, avoid obstacles, and execute autonomous missions with accuracy. This makes spraying operations safer, more predictable, and easier for operators to manage. The design approach reflects a strong focus on simplifying the work of farmers who traditionally rely on manual spraying. By delivering uniform coverage, reducing input wastage and automating repetitive tasks, the system supports improved crop protection, better health outcomes for field staff, and more efficient use of resources. It is intended to serve farmers who are already using drone spraying as well as those transitioning to mechanised applications for the first time.

Deven Shah, Whole Time Director & Chief Executive Officer, Jyoti Global Plast said, “AeroCrop is a direct extension of our manufacturing philosophy, which has always centered on dependable performance and practical design. We believe this drone will help farmers adopt precision spraying easily and safely. Our goal is to make modern agricultural tools accessible without compromising on engineering quality or operational stability.”

The launch of AeroCrop builds on the company’s broader progression into the unmanned systems category. Earlier this year, Jyoti Global Plast introduced its first surveillance drone designed for day and night operations, which features both thermal and visual cameras to support a range of monitoring and inspection tasks. This was followed by the launch of an industrial cleaning drone line developed for high pressure cleaning of building facades, solar installations, and other large structures. The company recently secured its first commercial order for this cleaning system from a solar EPC firm, signaling strong early demand for its solutions.

As the company continues to diversify its offerings in the drone segment, the addition of AeroCrop positions Jyoti Global Plast firmly within the growing ecosystem of Indian UAV manufacturers. The company aims to contribute meaningfully to the country’s adoption of reliable, efficient, and cost-effective drone solutions across agriculture, surveillance, industrial cleaning, and infrastructure support.
