Engineering support for certification-ready UAV battery systems
GenX is a Made-in-India UAV battery manufacturer supporting drone OEMs through development, validation, documentation and production scaling — designed to align with DGCA and QCI-supported certification workflows.
Understanding UAV Type Certification In India
GenX supports OEMs developing UAV platforms intended for Indian certification and deployment workflows. Below is a reference map of the regulatory and quality-assurance bodies that shape the ecosystem.
Drone Rules & Type Certificates
The Directorate General of Civil Aviation issues type certificates for unmanned aircraft and operates the regulatory framework for civil drone operations in India.
Certification Scheme for UAS
The Certification Scheme for Unmanned Aircraft Systems provides the structured evaluation framework that approved certification bodies use to assess drone platforms.
Certification Ecosystem Support
The Quality Council of India supports the certification ecosystem and accreditation framework that underpins approved certification bodies and quality assurance.
Operator & Aircraft Registration
The DigitalSky platform handles UAS registration, operator permits, airspace approvals and the digital workflow surrounding compliant drone operations.
No Permission, No Take-off
NPNT principles influence UAV firmware, identification and operational compliance design — informing battery system telemetry and integration choices.
Manufacturing & Traceability
Repeatable manufacturing, serialized traceability and documented engineering controls form the backbone of certification-oriented supply chains for UAV programs.
Battery Architecture Shapes UAV Performance And Safety
Certification-oriented UAV programs demand repeatable battery behavior, traceability, documentation, manufacturing consistency and environmental resilience — properties engineered into the pack, not bolted on later.
Endurance & Payload
Cell selection, configuration and BMS tuning directly influence flight time, payload capacity and mission envelope.
Operational Safety
Thermal stability, cell balancing and safe charging architecture inform UAV-level safety and operational reliability.
Stable Power Delivery
Discharge profile, voltage sag and current handling shape the platform's behavior under load and motor stress.
Environmental Resilience
Heat, cold, altitude and humidity envelopes determine field deployment success across Indian operating conditions.
