Ecom Express plans drone deliveries in Delhi NCR region

During the trial period, Ecom Express will pay Skye Air a fixed fee on per-delivery basis. A major advantage of drone deliveries is quicker delivery, lower emissions and improved efficiency. Drone deliveries can skip the traffic congestions of city roads and can scale up to deliver as many as 2000 shipments a day, starting with a minimum of 500 shipments a day initially. To a distance of 500 meters to one kilometre drones will bring parcels to delivery pod zones. The last leg of the delivery will be completed by Skye Air’s delivery executives on foot or by bicycle. Initially implementing drone deliveries will have upfront huge capital expenditure, but it assures long term savings.
