Skye Air crosses 20 lakh drone deliveries in 2025 hyperlocal push
Scale-up efforts are focused on operational safety, delivery integrity and the creation of infrastructure to support autonomous logistics.
Skye Air Mobility has completed more than 20 lakh deliveries during calendar year 2025, signalling growing deployment of drones in India’s hyperlocal logistics and last-mile fulfilment networks.
The company said the milestone reflects increased use of drone-led logistics in dense urban catchments, where delivery speed, predictability and congestion management are emerging as operational priorities for quick-commerce and e-commerce players.
Skye Air currently operates drone delivery services in markets including Gurugram in the NCR and said it is working toward expansion into other metropolitan areas. The company said its scale-up efforts are focused on operational safety, delivery integrity and the creation of infrastructure to support autonomous logistics.
According to the company, its active markets handle close to 5,500 deliveries per day, supported by its technology stack and last-mile operations. The network is positioned to address time-sensitive fulfilment requirements by reducing dependency on conventional road-based delivery for short-haul movements.
Skye Air also pointed to the sustainability implications of drone-led last-mile operations, stating that each drone delivery can reduce carbon emissions compared with traditional delivery modes.
During 2025, the company said it advanced work on enabling infrastructure for scale, including partnerships aimed at developing secure delivery handoff points for autonomous logistics networks.
“Completing 20 L+ deliveries in CY2025 is a strong validation of how quickly drone logistics is becoming mainstream for hyperlocal commerce,” said Ankit Kumar, Founder & CEO, Skye Air Mobility. “Our focus remains on safe operations, predictable delivery experience, and building the infrastructure required to scale drone deliveries across cities.”
“As quick-commerce and e-commerce demand tighter delivery timelines, drones can meaningfully reduce turnaround time while easing last-mile congestion,” he added.
Skye Air said it will continue to expand drone delivery use cases with commerce and logistics partners while strengthening delivery infrastructure and operating capabilities across new micro-markets.
