Certified Pilot & Crew
Every spraying job is flown by a DGCA-certified pilot on a type-certified aircraft with valid UUID — not a bare equipment rental.
Transparent per-tank pricing, by crop height and by acreage. Bigger plots and taller canopies cost more per tank to cover — but the rate per tank drops as your acreage grows. No hidden add-ons: the number below is what you pay per tank sprayed.
Choose the row matching your acreage and the column matching your crop's height. Rates are per spray tank; a typical plot needs multiple tanks depending on crop density and coverage — we'll confirm the exact tank count and total cost before booking.
| Acreage | Small Crop (1-5 ft) | Medium Crop (5-15 ft) | Tall Crop (15-40 ft) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1-5 acres | ₹650 / tank | ₹750 / tank | ₹900 / tank |
| 6-10 acres | ₹500 / tank | ₹700 / tank | ₹800 / tank |
| 10+ acres | ₹400 / tank | ₹600 / tank | ₹700 / tank |
How to read this: larger holdings unlock a lower per-tank rate — that's the acreage discount. Taller crops (like arecanut and coconut) need more careful, closer coverage per tank, which is why tall-crop rates run higher than small-crop rates at every acreage band. Your total cost = per-tank rate × number of tanks needed for your plot; we confirm tank count on a site visit or from your acreage and crop details.
Fragmented land: acreage is calculated field by field, not as one combined total — each separate, non-adjoining field requires the drone to be unloaded and reloaded, which takes time regardless of that field's size. Each fragmented field is priced at its own (smaller) acreage band unless your combined holding across all fields adds up to more than 20 acres, in which case the higher-acreage rate applies throughout.

Rates above cover the spraying service itself. Chemical, fertiliser or pesticide costs are billed separately at actuals, agreed before the job.
Like every Malabar Drones engagement, spraying jobs are prepaid — your slot is confirmed the moment payment clears, with a GST invoice issued against it.
Crops we regularly spray: paddy, moong, chickpea and sugarcane (small/medium) and arecanut, coconut and other plantation crops (tall). Not sure which band your crop falls in, or want an exact tank-count estimate? Message us on WhatsApp with your crop and acreage — we'll confirm the total before you book.
