Indrajaal launches ‘Indrajaal Infra’ to protect critical infrastructure from drone threats

Indrajaal launches ‘Indrajaal Infra’ to protect critical infrastructure from drone threats

Kolkata, May 22 (UNI) Indrajaal, India’s leading autonomous drone defence company, on Thursday announced the launch of Indrajaal Infra — a specialised product line designed to safeguard high-value critical infrastructure such as nuclear power plants, oil refineries, ports, airports, and energy grids from drone-based attacks.

Built on Indrajaal’s advanced SkyOSTM platform, Indrajaal Infra offers autonomous, real-time airspace security across vast areas up to 4,000 sq km, the Hyderabad-based hi-tech Drone maker said.

The system integrates AI-driven threat detection with a layered defence approach — combining sensors, spoofers, jammers, and command intelligence to deliver 24/7 autonomous protection against rogue drones.

Currently, Indrajaal Infra is already operational at a strategic naval port in Gujarat, following successful trials during recent cross-border escalations.

Deployment is also underway at India’s largest naval port in Karnataka, signalling a critical step in fortifying India's maritime and industrial defence infrastructure.

The launch is especially timely given the recent India–Pakistan conflict, which witnessed an increase in drone-based threats targeting sensitive assets near the western border.

While many were intercepted before causing damage, the incidents exposed critical gaps in conventional surveillance and perimeter defences.

“Peacetime readiness is wartime insurance. The cost of protecting critical assets today is far lower than the cost of rebuilding them after an attack,” said Kiran Raju, founder CEO of Indrajaal.

“Indrajaal Infra is designed to ensure operational continuity, national resilience, and industrial sovereignty in a rapidly evolving threat environment.”

The global rise in asymmetric drone warfare has drastically lowered the cost of causing strategic damage. Incidents like the Pelham oil terminal attack, power station strikes in Sudan, and energy infrastructure targeting in Ukraine has proven that state and non-state actors can now paralyse billion-dollar assets using low-cost commercial drones.

Kolkata recently witnessed 6/7 drones hovering across the sky from southwest to northeast on the first day of the week, which have yet to be identified. The matter was reported to the Kolkata Police Special Task Force, which got in touch with the Eastern Command.

Both the STF and the Indian Army have launched separate investigations.The Ministry of Defence also launched an investigation into reports of drone-like objects

seen in the sky.
