Drone Shoot Permissions in Gurgaon & Delhi NCR — Green, Yellow & Red Zones Explained

Aerial footage is stunning — but only if it's shot legally. Here's a plain-English guide to drone zones across Delhi NCR and how permissions work for commercial shoots.

Green, Yellow & Red Zones

India uses a zone-based airspace map. Green zones are largely operable. Yellow zones need permission from air traffic authorities. Red zones are no-fly without special clearance — typically near airports and sensitive sites.

Gurgaon

Much of Gurgaon is operable, which is why it's ideal for factory, real estate and event aerials — always subject to the specific site.

Delhi

Central Delhi is heavily restricted, especially near the airport and VIP/government zones. Many areas require permissions or are no-fly.

Noida

Mixed — some areas are open while others sit near sensitive zones, so each site needs checking.

What a Commercial Drone Shoot Needs

• A registered drone flown by a trained, certified remote pilot
• A check of the site against the current airspace zone map
• Permission from the relevant authority where the site is in a yellow zone
• Landowner or site-owner consent for the location
• Safe flying conditions on the day, including weather and crowd safety

The rules are set by the Government of India and can change, so we verify the current position for every location rather than relying on past shoots.

How Early Should You Tell Us the Location?

Green-zone sites are the simplest. Anything near an airport, a government building or another sensitive area needs more lead time, so share the exact address when you brief us and we will tell you what is possible before you commit.
