The UAS Rules, 2021 announced in March this year, attempted to address security issues by toughening licensing and approval standards. However, drone attacks in Jammu and Kashmir and other parts of the country's border regions persisted. Yet after extensive consultation with the industry and experts, the much-anticipated UAS Rule, 2021 underwhelmed, providing a mere structure to the previously existing use-cases of unmanned drones, putting tech firms' ambitions to employ high-tech delivery mechanisms in limbo.

To salvage the nascent commercial drone industry, the Central Government on 25th August 2021 promulgated "The Drone Rules 2021". The Rules aim to build a "digital sky platform", which is a market oriented single-window online system with minimal human intervention and self-generated authorization.

Unlike the UAS Rules, the Drone Rules provide the industry with new optimism while also demonstrating the government's ambitious objectives. The Ministry of Civil Aviation has accentuated India's potential to become the world's largest drone hub by 2030, while also supporting industries such as infrastructure, surveillance & security, agriculture, mining, emergency management, transportation, geospatial mapping, defence, and law enforcement.

Because of their potential reach, adaptability, and ease of use, drones will undoubtedly become a source of employment and economic growth in India, particularly in rural and remote regions.

The Drone Rules 2021 have been enacted in supersession of the previous UAS Rules, 2021, which nearly rendered the drone industry non-functional by putting a series of stopcocks over-testing, drone R&D, and requiring permissions from various government bodies before taking off, thanks to critical feedback from NASSCOM and the Drone Federation of India.

The Drone Rules, 2021, have been drafted on the premise of trust, self-certification, and non-intrusive monitoring.

Drone aficionados may rejoice with the introduction of the business-friendly Drone Rules, 2021. The new regulations are founded on the principles of trust, self-certification, and non-intrusive monitoring.
We can view these rules as an initial step towards making India a global drone hub in the coming future.

The Tribunals Reforms (Rationalisation and Conditions of Service) Ordinance, 2021 has been promulgated by the President. By way of this Ordinance, several tribunals have been abolished.

For creative industries, noteworthy among these is the dissolution of the Intellectual Property Appellate Board (IPAB), the Appellate Boards under the Patent, Copyright and GI Acts, and the Film Certification Appellate Tribunal (FCAT). Appeals to these boards will now be heard by the respective High Couts or in some cases, the Commercial Courts.

With these marked changes, this Ordinance aims to streamline the dispute resolution process by eliminating additional litigation since most parties appeal to the High Courts anyway.
