DFI Statement on MCA Matters: Drone Federation India ("DFI") is a Section 8, not-for-profit industry body working to support the government, industry and academia to build a safe, compliant and globally competitive Indian drone industry, including advocating for enforcement against unauthorised and non-compliant drones entering the Indian market. DFI's directors are aware of recent reports concerning a Ministry of Corporate Affairs inspection and related complaint, and we wish to state as below: The matters before the court, in Mumbai relate to certain procedural non-compliances by DFI under the Companies Act. DFI is addressing them through the appropriate processes both legal before the court and strengthening of its internal compliance mechanisms. Separately, there has been an investigation by the authorities regarding the process to change to the name of DFI under the ROC records. With respect to this, certain document was filed by third parties not directly engaged by DFI which was later found to be forged. DFI or its directors had no knowledge of, and no role in, the creation or use of the forged document. DFI itself lodged a police complaint seeking action against those responsible. DFI continues to cooperate fully with that investigation. DFI's work supporting Indian drone manufacturers continues without interruption. The directors remain committed to this mission, to high standards of governance, and to seeing this matter through to a fair and factual conclusion. DFI thanks its members and partners for their continued trust and will keep them informed as matters progress. For and on behalf of the Board of Directors, Drone Federation India
