DGCA-certified agri drone operations

Precision everyacre deserves.

Certified drone spraying for Tamil Nadu farms. Typically covers around one acre in approximately 5–7 minutes, depending on crop, field layout, spray volume and operating conditions — using roughly 90% less water than a knapsack sprayer.

Why Maruthai Drones

Built by engineers who work the fields they fly over.

We are an agricultural drone company from Tamil Nadu, operating our own fleet, our own pilots and our own maintenance bay. Nothing is outsourced — which is why our spray quality is repeatable.

Around 5–7 minutes an acre
Coverage speed varies with crop type, field layout, spray volume and operating conditions. Most standard plots finish well within a morning.
90% less water
Ultra-low-volume atomisation puts 10 litres where a knapsack needs 200 — with better leaf coverage.
Zero chemical exposure
No one walks through a treated field. Operators stay at a safe distance with the controller.
Healthier, even crops
Rotor downwash drives droplets to the underside of the leaf, where pests actually live.

Field log

Typical job: 6 acres of sugarcane completed in roughly under an hour, depending on conditions and spray requirements.

Farmer challenges

The season keeps getting harder to manage.

Every farmer we meet describes the same four pressures. Drone spraying was built to answer them directly.

Labour is scarce and costly

Spraying crews are harder to find every season, and wages rise while windows shrink.

Health risk in the field

Manual spraying means hours of direct contact with concentrated agro-chemicals.

Uneven, wasteful coverage

Hand spraying over-doses some rows and misses others — pests survive, input costs climb.

Rising input costs

More chemical, more water, more diesel, more time — for the same or lower yield.

Drone solutions

A spray system that behaves the same on every field.

Consistency is an engineering problem. We solved it with mapping, calibration and documentation — not guesswork.

Verified spray report after every job

01

Mapped flight plans

Your plot is surveyed and flown on an RTK-locked grid, so every square metre gets the same dose.

02

Calibrated dosing

Flow rate is matched to crop stage and chemical, verified before take-off and logged after landing.

03

Terrain-following flight

Radar keeps the drone at a constant height above canopy across bunds, slopes and standing water.

04

Documented results

You receive a spray report with acreage, volume, duration and coverage map after every job.

Crops we serve

Calibrated for the crops Tamil Nadu actually grows.

Droplet size, flight height and flow rate are set per crop and growth stage — a paddy nursery is not sprayed like mature sugarcane.

Testimonials

Farmers judge us by the next season, not the first flight.

Six acres of sugarcane used to take my crew two full days. Maruthai finished before lunch, and the coverage inside the canopy was better than anything we managed by hand.

R. Selvakumar

Sugarcane farmer · Karur

As an FPO we needed documentation for every spray. They send a written report each time, which made our subsidy claims straightforward.

M. Anbarasi

Secretary, Kongu Farmers FPO

What convinced me was the calibration. They measured flow before take-off and showed me the numbers. That is not how most operators work.
