ARAPL subsidiary gets US FCC approval for robotics
Affordable Robotic & Automation Limited (ARAPL) announced that its subsidiary, ARAPL RaaS Private Limited (Humro), has received Conditional Approval from the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC). This approval, granted on October 30, 2026, allows ARAPL RaaS's autonomous pallet trucks (Maia2000 series) and forklifts (Atlas AC2000 series) to operate in the US market. ARAPL RaaS is among the first 13 robotics operators globally and the only Indian company to achieve this under the new US regulatory framework for foreign-produced advanced robotic devices. This milestone provides a strategic pathway for ARAPL to access the significant $150 billion US autonomous material handling market, including potential government procurement opportunities. The approval exempts their products from FCC's Covered List restrictions, offering a competitive advantage against international manufacturers and paving the way for long-term revenue growth.
