Drone Spraying Services in Gujarat
Drone spraying in Gujarat typically costs ₹400–₹550 per acre for cotton and ₹400–₹500 for groundnut, with large flat Saurashtra blocks at the lower end. Book DGCA-certified pilots through the CropWings app; coverage runs via the CropWings pilot network across all 34 districts, subject to pilot availability — a drone finishes an acre in about eight minutes.
Gujarat is India's largest groundnut producer and one of its biggest cotton states, and both crops are tailor-made for drones. Saurashtra's black-soil blocks around Rajkot, Junagadh and Amreli carry groundnut and Bt cotton; North Gujarat (Banaskantha, Patan and the new Vav-Tharad district) grows castor, mustard, potato and cumin; South Gujarat's Surat–Navsari–Bharuch belt is sugarcane country; and Kheda–Anand adds paddy, maize and tobacco. Pink bollworm and whitefly have made timely, uniform sprays the difference between profit and loss on cotton.
CropWings has covered 500,000+ acres for over 100,000 farmers in 200+ districts nationwide. In Gujarat, spraying is arranged via the CropWings pilot network across the state's 34 districts, subject to pilot availability in your district — check the app for your village. Drones earn their keep here on grown cotton and head-high sugarcane, where tractor booms cannot enter and manual gangs cannot reach the canopy top, finishing an acre in about eight minutes.

Season guide
Kharif cotton and groundnut go in with the monsoon from late June; pink bollworm and whitefly sprays on cotton peak August–October, and tikka leaf-spot rounds on groundnut run August–September. Rabi wheat, cumin and mustard occupy November–March — cumin's blossom-stage fungicide sprays in December–January reward a drone's fine, low-volume mist. South Gujarat sugarcane needs top-borer sprays once cane is head-high, and summer groundnut and bajra follow under the Narmada canal command from February.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the drone spraying price per acre for cotton in Gujarat?
Cotton drone spraying in Gujarat typically runs ₹400–₹550 per acre; groundnut is around ₹400–₹500. Large, contiguous black-soil blocks in Saurashtra — Rajkot, Amreli, Junagadh — price at the lower end, while scattered plots or late-season tall cotton cost more per acre. Your exact quote, including chemical volume for the crop's growth stage, appears in the CropWings app before payment.
How do I book drone spraying in Gujarat — is CropWings available in Rajkot or Banaskantha?
Book through the CropWings app: drop a pin on your survey number, choose crop and slot, and confirm. Gujarat is served via the CropWings pilot network, subject to pilot availability in your district — serviceability for Rajkot, Banaskantha, Vav-Tharad or any of the 34 districts shows live in the app. Booking two to three days ahead secures peak kharif slots.
Which Gujarat crops benefit most from drone spraying?
Cotton tops the list — pink bollworm and whitefly rounds on chest-high plants that boom sprayers cannot enter. Dense groundnut canopy takes fungicide more evenly from the air, and head-high sugarcane in Surat, Navsari and Bharuch is effectively unsprayable by hand. Wheat, paddy, maize, chilli and blossom-stage cumin in North Gujarat round out the list.
Is drone spraying legal in Gujarat? Does a farmer need a licence?
It is legal under the DGCA's Drone Rules 2021 — the drone must carry a UIN and the pilot a Remote Pilot Certificate; the farmer booking the service needs no licence at all. CropWings pilots check Digital Sky zones before flying, since airspace near Ahmedabad, Surat, Vadodara and Rajkot-Hirasar airports, and close to the international border in Kutch and Banaskantha, is restricted.
