This September, Mumbai will once again become the centre of innovation as it hosts Drone Expo & Conference 2025, the country’s leading platform for drone and technology advancements. From 25th to 27th September 2025, the Bombay Exhibition Centre, Goregaon, HALL.06 (NESCO), will welcome the 6th edition of the Drone Exhibition and the 4th Drone Conference, bringing together the most exciting ideas, products, and solutions in the world of unmanned aerial systems.
With the theme “Drone India: Navigating the Future – Engineering to Execution, Defence to Development, Education to Excellence and Protection to Progress”, the three-day event is expected to welcome over 10,000+ attendees, marking it as one of the country’s most influential gatherings dedicated to drone technology and its future.
A glimpse into tomorrow’s technology
The exhibition floor will showcase the latest unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), alongside cutting-edge applications in defence and surveillance, precision agriculture, irrigation, GIS mapping, and AI-powered robotics. From drones designed to monitor crops and boost yields, to advanced aerial systems capable of supporting emergency response and border security, the event positions drones as more than machines—they are tools of transformation.
Drone Expo & Conference stands poised to transform how drones support India’s progress. It connects technique to purpose, shining a light on UAV potential in development, protection, and education.
Drone Conference 2025
Running parallel to the exhibition, the Drone Conference will bring together thought leaders, policymakers, researchers, and innovators. Panel discussions and keynote sessions will explore crucial topics such as policy frameworks, regulatory trends, AI integration, and industry collaboration. With the active role of government initiatives and the backing of institutions such as the Rashtriya Raksha University (RRU), the dialogue promises to deepen understanding of how India is positioning itself as a global drone hub.
Adding to the momentum, HP Inc. steps in as the conference sponsor this year. From powering presentations to enabling interactive showcases, its involvement ensures that technology not only drives the content of the event but also the experience itself.
Why this matters now
The timing of this event could not be more significant. Across the world, drones are moving from fascination to necessity—transforming the way industries operate. Whether in defence strategy, disaster management, precision farming, or urban planning, UAVs are proving indispensable. This exhibition is more than a showcase—it’s a meeting ground for ideas, opportunities, and collaborations that can redefine how technology supports progress. The support of DPIIT Start-up India further reinforces this vision, encouraging start-ups and innovators to play a leading role in shaping the future of India’s drone tech ecosystem.
Hosting the exhibition in Mumbai, India’s financial and innovation capital, reinforces the city’s role as a hub of technology and trade. Its global connectivity and entrepreneurial energy make it the perfect backdrop for an event that looks outward, inviting both domestic and international participants to be part of the conversation.
Looking beyond the event
For many, this exhibition will not just be about exploring the latest drones or hearing from experts—it will be about finding direction in a fast-evolving industry. The platform creates space for connections, knowledge-sharing, and investment that can ripple across sectors long after the exhibition concludes.
