Hepicopter
Marut DronesHepicopter is a medical-logistics drone developed by Hepicopter, the medical delivery subsidiary of Marut Dronetech (Marut Drones), a Hyderabad, India-based UAV manufacturer founded in 2019 by Prem Kumar Vislawath. The Hepicopter carries up to 16 kg of payload over a 40 km range and was deployed in September 2021 in Vikarabad district, Telangana, as part of India's first drone-based medicine delivery project ('Medicine From The Sky'), delivering COVID-19 vaccines and medical supplies to ~15 public health centres. Operations were conducted under pre-programmed GPS waypoints with regulatory conditions that initially required VLOS, though the launch event was framed as a BVLOS demonstration. Several extracted facts relate to other Marut Drones products (AG365, Skyswift 56, logistics drones) and unrelated academic research systems (CapsuleBot, Skater, ship-deck landing algorithms), which are not specific to the Hepicopter but provide broader company context.

Evidence-graded claims from the Marut Drones deep report
Marut Drones holds 5 DGCA-certified drone platforms
DGCA type-certification is a regulatory process conducted by India's civil aviation authority; the claim is consistent across official and commerce sources [1][5][6], and DGCA certification inherently involves independent government verification, though the dossier does not cite a direct DGCA registry link confirming all five.
from Marut Drones deep report →Marut Drones raised $6.2 million in Series A funding from Lok Capital in 2024
The funding round is independently confirmed by multiple credible outlets including Business Standard [13], Commercial UAV News [11], and DroneLife [12], making this one of the few claims with genuine third-party corroboration; operational or capability implications remain unverified.

Marut Drones has deployed 1,800+ drones across India
The 1,800+ figure appears only on the official website [1][8] and commerce aggregator listings [5][6][7]; no independent journalist, regulator, or third-party auditor has verified the deployment count.
from Marut Drones deep report →Marut's logistics drones operate autonomously via GPS navigation, LiDAR 360° obstacle avoidance, and pre-programmed mission execution — with human operators only handling setup and monitoring, not flying the task
GPS/LiDAR/RTH autonomy features are described on the official product page [3], but no independent field test, teardown, or user report confirms fully autonomous unattended operation; Indian DGCA regulations additionally mandate a certified Remote Pilot actively monitoring all flights.
from Marut Drones deep report →Marut's logistics drone (large variant) carries up to 70 kg payload with a 150 kg MTOW, 25-minute flight time, and 20 km range
These specifications are stated on the official product page [3] only; no independent test, regulatory filing, or third-party review has verified the payload, endurance, or range figures under real-world conditions.
from Marut Drones deep report →Marut Drones' surveillance platform features AI-assisted anomaly and spoofing detection via link monitoring
The AI-assisted link monitoring capability is described solely on the official surveillance product page [2]; no independent security researcher, customer deployment report, or third-party evaluation has verified this AI functionality in practice.

Marut ZAP achieves a 90% reduction in operational costs for vector control
The 90% cost-reduction figure appears exclusively on the official Marut ZAP product page [4] with no independent study, government report, or third-party field trial cited to substantiate it.
