RPAS Aerial Solutions knows and understands the value of Drone Insurance as an important ingredient of operations if you want to own and fly a drone. They are as important as insuring your car or bike if not critical. The insurance policy will offer commercial drone owners and operators coverage for third party liability claims as required by DGCA for property damage and physical injuries to people in case of an unfortunate accident. Drones are being used extensively now in India for various purposes both by private and government bodies; they have proven to be efficient and beneficial in public surveillance, crowd monitoring, and land mapping to name a few. In the future, drones are also considered to have the potential of taking up various functions of different businesses, where humans may be unable to perform the tasks. The insurance cover is needed keeping in mind the safety of third-party assets
