We successfully carried out a test-delivery by sending a pizza to a customer located 1.5 km away from our outlet on May 11,&#8221; said Mikhel Rajani, chief executive of \u00a0Francesco&#8217;s Pizzeria \u00a0in Mumbai was quoted as saying by media reports.<\/p>\n<p>He said it was only a test-flight to confirm whether the technology can be used routinely to deliver products to customer.<\/p>\n<p>Rajani said a \u00a0four-rotor drone took off with the order from its outlet in central Mumbai&#8217;s Lower Parel area and delivered it to a high-rise building in adjacent Worli area.<\/p>\n<p>The restaurant officials have made a video of the delivery.<\/p>\n<h2>\u2019Drone saves time and costs for company\u2019<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cThe drone saves time and costs for a company like his, which would otherwise depend on a two-wheeler borne agent to deliver the pizzas,\u201d Rajani said adding every customised drone costs around USD 2,000.<\/p>\n<p>He said at present, there are certain restrictions on the regulatory front like the drone not allowed to fly above 400 feet altitude and barred from flying over security establishments.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt present the drones are being operated manually but in future, we can have drones fly by themselves on predetermined flight paths made using GPS data,\u201d added Rajani.<\/p>\n<p>It needs to be seen whether other restaurants in India will follow the suit or \u201cwait and watch\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><em>Write your comments and thoughts below<\/em><\/p>\n<p><b>Asia News<\/b><strong>\/ NationalTurk India News<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A restaurant in India\u2019s finance capital Mumbai has made a history by using an unmanned drone to deliver a pizza to its customer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":732,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30,80,68,63,1,118,14],"tags":[69536,69534,40329,69539,69541,2546,69532,69537,1110,69535,69531,69533,69540],"class_list":["post-50806","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-asia","category-breaking-news","category-business","category-daily","category-general","category-hot","category-world","tag-amazon","tag-deliver","tag-drones","tag-four-rotor-drone","tag-gps-data","tag-india","tag-indias-finance-capital","tag-mikhel-rajani","tag-mumbai","tag-pizza","tag-restaurant","tag-unmanned-drone","tag-worli"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50806","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/732"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=50806"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50806\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=50806"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=50806"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=50806"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
