Unmanned Aircraft System(UAS) also known as drone in layman terms. In India the regulation of Unmanned Aircraft System(UAS) is done on the basis of weight.
Upto 500kg- Drone rules
Greater than 500 kg- Aircraft rules
On the basis of weight, drones were classified in following categories in India.
Nano: Less than or equal to 250 grams
Micro: From 250 grams to 2kg
Small: From 2kg to 25kg
Medium: From 25kg to 150kg
