Drone Spraying Services in Telangana
CropWings provides drone crop spraying in all 33 districts of Telangana, run from its Hyderabad (HITEC City) headquarters. Typical rates are ₹400–₹600 per acre — paddy at the lower end, chilli and dense cotton at the upper end. Farmers book through the CropWings app and are matched with a certified local pilot, usually within the same day.
Telangana is CropWings' home state — the company is headquartered at Ten Madhapur in HITEC City, Hyderabad, and many features in the farmer app are field-tested on Telangana farms first. Certified pilots operate across the cotton belts of Adilabad, Warangal and Nalgonda, the paddy bowls of Nizamabad, Karimnagar and Suryapet, and the chilli clusters around Khammam and Mahabubabad, covering both the vanakalam (kharif) and yasangi (rabi) seasons.
Telangana's cropping pattern suits drone application unusually well. Cotton — one of the state's two biggest kharif crops — needs repeated sprays against pink bollworm and sucking pests from August to November, exactly when farm labour is tied up in paddy transplanting. Yasangi paddy, transplanted December–January, matures into dense, waterlogged fields where knapsack spraying is slow and unpleasant. A drone finishes an acre in under ten minutes, keeps operators out of the chemical cloud, and covers borewell-fed plots scattered across the Deccan plateau.
Booking works the same across the state: mark the field in the CropWings app, choose the crop and a slot, and a nearby pilot confirms — typically the same day around Warangal, Khammam, Karimnagar and the districts ringing Hyderabad. Being headquartered in the city, CropWings runs its fastest support loop in Telangana, and dronestoreindia.com supplies the batteries, nozzles and spares that keep local pilots flying through the peak vanakalam rush.

Season guide
Vanakalam (kharif, June–October) drives peak demand: cotton sowing with the June monsoon onset, paddy transplanting in July–August, then pink bollworm and sucking-pest rounds on cotton from August onward. Yasangi (rabi, November–April) centres on irrigated paddy and maize under borewell- and canal-fed command areas, with chilli rounds around Khammam continuing through February. Spray windows narrow during heavy monsoon spells — pilots reschedule around rain days.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the drone spraying cost per acre for cotton and paddy in Telangana?
Most Telangana farmers pay ₹400–₹500 per acre for paddy and maize, ₹450–₹550 for cotton, and ₹500–₹600 for chilli, which needs finer droplets and slower coverage. Small, scattered borewell plots may price slightly higher per acre than contiguous blocks. The CropWings app displays the exact quote for your field before you confirm the booking.
How do I book a CropWings drone for spraying in Telangana and how fast will it come?
Download the CropWings app, add your field by dropping a pin, choose the crop and preferred date, and confirm the quoted price. Telangana has dense pilot coverage — Warangal, Khammam, Nalgonda, Karimnagar and the districts around Hyderabad usually match the same day, with spraying done within 24–48 hours. During the peak vanakalam rush, booking 2–3 days ahead secures your slot.
Which crops in Telangana are best suited for drone spraying?
Cotton and paddy lead: pink bollworm and sucking-pest rounds on vanakalam cotton in Adilabad, Warangal and Nalgonda, and planthopper or blast control on yasangi paddy when flooded fields are unwalkable. Maize in Karimnagar and Siddipet gets fall armyworm sprays through the whorl stage, and Khammam chilli takes multiple fungicide rounds through winter.
Is drone spraying legal in Telangana and what licence does the pilot need?
Yes. Drone spraying is fully legal under India's Drone Rules, 2021. CropWings pilots carry a DGCA Remote Pilot Certificate earned at an approved training organisation, and every drone is registered with a UIN on the Digital Sky platform. Most Telangana farmland lies in green zones needing no prior flight permission; pilots check the Digital Sky zone map before flying near Hyderabad's airports.
Can our village or FPO book drone spraying together in Telangana?
Yes, and it is the cheapest way to spray. When neighbouring farmers book contiguous plots together, one pilot completes them in a single visit, cutting travel time and often the effective per-acre cost. FPO and farmer groups across Warangal, Suryapet and Nizamabad already coordinate cluster bookings for cotton and yasangi paddy — raise a combined booking in the app or contact the Hyderabad support team.
