Respiratory therapy leader Cipla on Tuesday announced the launch of drone-powered deliveries for its critical medicines - cardiac, respiratory, and other essential chronic therapies - for hospitals and pharmacies in the hilly state of Himachal Pradesh.
Cipla is the first among the large Indian pharmaceutical companies to adopt drone-based deliveries to facilitate expedited supply to stockists in remote areas.
For this, the company has tied up with Skye Air Mobility.
Cipla said that the use of drones will support on-time delivery of the company's medicines to chemists and clinics in remote areas, as well as minimise risks of affecting cold chain products due to temperature excursions.
The company has already completed several drone deliveries in Himachal Pradesh, covering approximately 50 km distance in less than 25 minutes.
This has been vital amidst adverse and prevailing weather conditions that have impacted conventional transportation routes in the state.
Cipla aims to scale the service in the future through distribution to hospitals and expand market coverage to inaccessible and hilly terrains such as Uttarakhand and Northeast India.
The Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) released guidelines for drone delivery of pharmaceutical products last year.
ICMR conducted a pilot to deliver COVID-19 vaccines in the northeastern states of Manipur and Nagaland through drones in October 2021.
Tech startups like TechEagle have partnered with state governments like Himachal Pradesh to deliver medicines and vaccines in hard-to-access areas, especially during winter.
