National, 1st May 2025 — In a landmark development aimed at redefining the future of logistics in India, Sitics Logistics Pvt. Ltd. has placed an order for 100 autonomous BVLOS (Beyond Visual Line of Sight) delivery drones from TECHEAGLE Innovations Pvt. Ltd. The deal is among the largest commercial drone logistics agreements globally and underscores a shared vision to build a faster, more sustainable, and tech-enabled delivery ecosystem across the country.
The collaboration is designed to address inefficiencies in traditional last-mile and mid-mile logistics. TECHEAGLE’s in-house developed drones will support Sitics’ operations across e-commerce, intercity B2B, and direct-to-consumer deliveries. The initial rollout will begin in Delhi-NCR, Mumbai-Pune, and Bengaluru, with plans to scale to over ten cities in the coming months. With this deployment, the two companies are working to build a hybrid logistics network that combines aerial and ground-based systems to deliver increased efficiency and environmental sustainability.
Speaking on the partnership, A.M. Sikander, Group CEO and MD of Sitics Logistics, said, “This partnership with TECHEAGLE marks a bold step toward the future of logistics. At Sitics, we’re committed to redefining delivery with smarter, faster, and more sustainable solutions—and drone technology is a game-changer in that journey.”
The move comes at a time when India’s e-commerce parcel volumes are projected to rise sharply—from 400 crore to 1,000 crore annually over the next five years. TECHEAGLE’s drone systems are built to scale with this growth, offering lower operational costs in dense urban areas and hard-to-reach rural regions. The drones are also significantly more climate-friendly, with each delivery reducing carbon emissions by up to 94% per kilometer compared to electric two-wheelers.
Vikram Singh Meena, Founder and CEO of TECHEAGLE, highlighted the larger vision behind the collaboration: “This partnership with Sitics reflects a turning point for logistics in India. As consumer demand continues to surge, there is a clear need for infrastructure that is both economically and environmentally sustainable. With drone delivery now operational at scale, we’re proud to partner with Sitics to bring this next-generation capability to life where it’s needed most.”
TECHEAGLE has a strong track record in drone logistics, having successfully deployed its systems in some of India’s most challenging geographies, including projects with AIIMS, India Post, and state governments across the North East and Himalayan regions. The company’s proprietary drone models—Vertiplane (a 100 km-range hybrid eVTOL drone) and Verticopter (a 20 km-range eVTOL drone)—are powered by advanced AI-based route planning and a cloud-based fleet orchestration system, enabling fully autonomous BVLOS operations.
This partnership also aligns closely with national priorities under the Make in India initiative and the Viksit Bharat @2047 vision. By leveraging deep-tech innovation and local manufacturing, the collaboration reinforces India’s position as a leader in future-ready logistics while contributing to climate goals and technological sovereignty.
