Agri-solutions provider Coromandel International Ltd has announced a strategic partnership with Mahindra's farm equipment business, Krish-e, to introduce the 'Gromor Drive' drone spraying service for farmers. This initiative aims to revolutionize agricultural practices by making drone technology more accessible.

The service, already operational in several Indian states, is supported by Remote Pilot Training Organisations (RPTO)-trained pilots.

A key factor in Coromandel's market advantage is its subsidiary, Dhaksha Unmanned Systems, providing in-house developed drones and certified pilots.
