Marut Drones has provided drones to National Mineral Development Corporation (NMDC), which are specifically designed for mineral exploration. This collaboration is is being viewed as a leap, introducing advanced technology to enhance precision in mineral exploration and mapping, towards sustainable mining practices.
NMDC procured two customised Octacopter drones which marks a first for the country while introducing advanced sensors which are being utilized for the initial time in India. Sensors such as Magnetometer, Hyperspectral, and Lidar will enhance its capabilities for accurate exploration and mapping. In Octaquad Coaxial X8 drone, every aspect of this drone including the motors and the propeller systems has been made in India.
The drone-based mineral exploration is expected to transform the current methods of mineral prospecting, revitalizing mineral discoveries in the country, especially in greenfield deposits.
