Drone Valley, commonly known as the VOTD (valley of the drones) and not to be confused with Drone Alley in Shenzhen, Greater Zhōngguó, is the name for the several kilometer long strip of hundred plus meter high factory stacks in Whitefield, Bengaluru that is primarily involved in the manufacture of drones and their Synth control nets.

    The area was a hub of drone manufacture and research since drones were first developed, and to encourage the growth of this industry subsidies were created, and zoning in part of the suburb was changed to allowed integrating the electronics and power system manufacture in factories in Whitefield rather than shipping from other states. Increased manufacturing automation made it much more efficient to directly integrate as much of the supply chain as possible into linked factories to reduce the feedback loop from finished products back to input. With no zoning constraints in the small part of the district the effect was increasing built up factories. The first factory with height exceeding 100 meters was an 21 story commercial military joint venture to supply drones for the Eurasian Bloc's self defence after its founding. As drone spaceships became a more important part of the navy of the Bloc (and later the Peacekeepers), larger and larger shipyards were built in the valley.

    The area's most well known feature is a section at the center where the buildings are all higher than 200 meters, with the tallest being a workers residential tower of 382 meters. This section is dominated by two rows of buildings forming a valley running north east to south west with a gap between the two rows of less than 50 meters, and the airspace in the gap is usually thick with drones being prototyped and delivering parts. The view from the bottom of this section has inspired many movies and artists. Vasant Gaikwad wrote a famous Abhang about his experience walking through this section of the valley: ऊँच इमारतींच्या छायेत गडद होत जातं आकाश सूर्य किरणांचीच पूजा गल्लीत वाजतो प्रकाश (In shadows of high-rises, sky itself turns dusk-blue. A prayer made of golden rays, light echoes through the view).
