Fertiliser maker Coromandel International’s subsidiary Dhaksha Unmanned Systems, which manufactures drones, has won an order to supply 200 medium-altitude logistics drones and accessories to the Indian Army. The exact model of quadcopter is not specified in the information. The firm manufactures DH-Agrigator, DH-HM (Hybrid Multi-rotor), DH-Quad, DH-VTHT, DH-Microquad and DH-Nanoquad. It also produces DQ-Heli and fixed-wing DH-Mapper.

Coromandel possesses a majority share of 51% in the drone manufacturing company. According to Arun Alagappan, the Executive Vice Chairman of Coromandel International, the defense contract serves as a validation of Dhaksha's technological prowess and its potential to tap into opportunities within the field of unmanned aerial systems. This development also facilitates the entry of both Coromandel and the Murugappa Group into the realm of supplying to the Indian defense sector.

Situated in Chennai, Dhaksha has established a technology partnership with Anna University and stands as the sole entity in the nation to have obtained type certificates from the DGCA for three drone models, spanning the medium and small categories. These drone models are tailored for applications in agriculture and surveillance.
