Coromandel Partners with Mahindra Krish-e to Enhance Drone Spraying Services for Farmers

Coromandel International Limited, a leading provider of agri-solutions in India, has partnered with Mahindra & Mahindra’s Farm Equipment Sector (FES) business, Krish-e, to expand its drone spraying services. The collaboration aims to reach more farmers across India, offering advanced services through the Gromor Drive platform.

Expanding Drone Services Across India

Currently operational in 7 key states—Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, and Uttar Pradesh—Gromor Drive is supported by RPTO-trained pilots. Coromandel’s drones are backed by its subsidiary, Dhaksha Unmanned Systems, which ensures a reliable supply of drones, pilot training, and continuous service support. This integration gives Coromandel a strong competitive edge in the emerging drone market.

Mr Hemant Sikka, President of Farm Equipment Sector, Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd., expressed strong enthusiasm and optimism about this new venture and the integration of modern technology in farming, saying, “With Krish-e’s well-established presence across the country and Coromandel’s experienced Gromor Drive fleet, we are pleased to take the benefits of drones to many more Indian farmers. A significant step towards enhancing productivity and lowering a farmer’s exposure to powerful chemicals, drone technology can enable selective spraying of fertiliser and chemicals on crops while also ensuring improved yield. ” 

Enhancing Accessibility through Technology

The partnership also makes drone spraying services more accessible through the ‘Krish-e Kheti Ke Liye App.’ This app and other farm solutions offered by Mahindra’s FES aim to sustainably boost farmers’ income and improve the agricultural value chain.
