Buying Your First Drone in India? Here’s What You Should Know

Buying a drone for the first time can be exciting—but also a little confusing. At G1Kart, we’ve helped thousands of people across India choose their first drone, and we’ve learned that most beginners have the same questions. So here’s a straightforward guide to help you make the right decision.

1. Know Why You’re Buying

Before choosing a drone, ask yourself what you’ll use it for. Are you a traveler wanting to capture wide landscapes? A filmmaker looking for stable shots? Or just exploring drone flying for fun? Your purpose should guide your choice.

2. Understand the Rules

In India, drones under 250 grams don’t need a license—but anything above that must be registered with DGCA. Make sure you understand these rules before buying, especially if you’re planning to use it for work.

3. Buy Genuine, Not Refurbished

This is where many people go wrong. A lot of drones sold online are refurbished. They might be cheaper, but they come with risks—no warranty, no service, and often no support if things go wrong.
At G1Kart, we only sell genuine, brand-new drones. In fact, in the last six years, we haven’t sold a single refurbished unit.

4. Warranty and Service Matter

When you buy from us, you get proper warranty support—something most sellers don’t offer. We have our own service centres in major cities and a network of partner centres across India. We also provide doorstep pickup for repairs in many locations, so you don’t have to run around for help.

5. Speak to a Human

We’re not a call centre. We fly drones ourselves. So when you contact us, you’ll speak to someone who actually understands what you’re asking. Whether you’re a beginner or someone experienced, we’ll give you honest, no-pressure guidance.
