Maharashtra became first state to use camera drones to monitor power lines, transmission towers

the Maharashtra State Electricity Transmission Company (MSETCL) has started using drones for inspection of power lines and transmission towers

the Union home ministry and Director General of Civil Aviation gave the nod

Drones are now being used for aerial surveillance and inspection of Extra High Voltage (EHV) lines and towers in remote areas of the state, it said.

It can cut maintenance costs and losses from outages,

surveillance through drones is more efficient than manual survey of power lines and detects faults in lines quicker.

These drones are equipped with ultra HD cameras which can take high-resolution close-up photographs and videos of the towers and their components.
