The Quality Council of India (QCI) has provisionally approved National Test House (NTH), Ghaziabad, as a certification body for type certification of drones under the Drone Rules 2021. NTH will assess agricultural drones, including Vimaana Aerospace Technologies’ Krishiraj 1.0, and provide low-cost certification services to support the growing drone sector in India.

NTH offers its certification services at Rs 1.5 lakh, the lowest in the industry. This reflects the institution’s commitment to supporting innovation in India’s drone sector, ensuring high safety, quality, and performance standards.
Established in 1912, NTH, under the Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food & Public Distribution, has a long history of providing testing, calibration, and quality evaluation services across multiple industries, contributing to India’s industrial growth.
