Calibrated per plant.
Not packaged on a shelf.
Drona VR is enterprise immersive training, not a self-serve subscription. Pricing depends on your plant size, scenario depth, hardware count, languages and rollout cadence. This page explains the model, the engagement tiers, the factors that move pricing, and how to get a calibrated proposal for your plant.
Pilot
Single plant. Validate VR training on 2–4 high-priority procedures. 8–12 weeks to first session.
- 2–4 scenarios authored to your SOPs
- 4–8 headsets included (Meta / HTC / Pico)
- Trainer enablement + content updates for 12 months
- Trainer Cast View · LMS handshake
- Multi-plant rollout management
- Authoring suite for self-creation
Plant
Single plant, full curriculum. Safety + operational + equipment + onboarding training across the full operator population. 12–16 weeks rollout.
- 10–18 scenarios authored to your SOPs
- 15–40 headsets · multi-shift coverage
- Compliance mapping (DGMS / OISD / OSHA / NEBOSH / Schedule M)
- Trainer Cast View · multi-trainer support
- Authoring suite (limited self-creation)
- LMS deep integration + assessment scoring
- Ongoing content updates · quarterly review
Enterprise
Multi-plant network. Country-wide or global rollout, multi-language, full authoring suite, white-label option, multi-year licence.
- 20+ scenarios with continuous authoring pipeline
- Headset count sized to network
- Full authoring suite — your team creates content
- Multi-language (EN / HI / TE / MR / AR / others on request)
- White-label option for partners
- Dedicated customer-success + analytics dashboard
- Procurement-grade SLAs + DPA + security review
What moves the number up or down.
Every Drona VR engagement is sized against six factors. The same plant in a different geography or with a different scenario depth can produce a meaningfully different proposal. We calibrate transparently — there are no hidden multipliers.
Scenario depth
A 4-step gowning procedure is one scenario. A 22-step process safety event with branching outcomes is another. Authoring effort scales with realism and decision complexity.
Hardware count
Number of headsets needed for your operator headcount and shift pattern. Multi-shift rollouts benefit from more headsets per plant for parallel cohorts.
Languages
Each additional language is a content production track — voice-over, on-screen text, learner-facing UI, assessment translation. Indian vernaculars and Arabic add the most.
Multi-plant breadth
Single plant is straightforward. A network rollout across 4 plants in 3 states benefits from reusable scenarios — pricing per plant *drops* as breadth increases.
Multi-year commitment
Annual content + support pricing reduces meaningfully on 3-year and 5-year commitments. Procurement teams typically prefer this; it stabilises CapEx planning.
Self-authoring scope
Buying the authoring suite means your team creates new content over time. Higher upfront, materially lower year-2-onwards. Better for plants with a strong L&D function.
How procurement actually works.
No instant pricing engine. No self-serve checkout. A four-step process designed to give your procurement team a defensible, calibrated proposal — not a marketing number.

How much does enterprise VR training cost?
For a typical mid-sized industrial plant, a Pilot engagement runs ₹12–25 lakh / US$ 14,000–30,000 in year one. A full-curriculum Plant engagement runs ₹35–80 lakh / US$ 42,000–95,000 in year one, with annual content and support typically 25–35% of year-one cost. Multi-plant Enterprise rollouts are sized per network. Final pricing is calibrated to your plant after a 30-minute discovery call — there is no per-seat list price.
Why don't you publish a fixed price?
Drona VR is enterprise services, not self-serve software. The same headset count looks very different across a 600-operator pharma plant versus a 4,500-operator integrated steel plant — different scenarios, different compliance needs, different languages, different rollout cadence. A fixed published price would either be high enough to cover the most complex engagement (and lose the simpler ones) or low enough to lose money on the complex ones. Calibration per plant is fairer to both sides.
What's included in the year-one engagement?
SOP capture · scenario authoring · headset provisioning · trainer enablement · Trainer Cast View · LMS integration · compliance mapping · 12 months of content updates · technical support · quarterly review. The Plant tier additionally includes multi-trainer support and the limited authoring suite. The Enterprise tier adds the full authoring suite, multi-language, white-label option, dedicated customer success and procurement-grade SLAs.
What is the typical payback period?
Across Drona VR deployments, payback typically lands in 9–18 months for plants with annual training budgets of ₹40 lakh and above. Faster payback (6–9 months) is common in oil & gas, mining and chemicals where a single avoided incident can cover the year-one investment. Use the ROI calculator for an industry-benchmarked view.
Can we start with a pilot and expand?
Yes — most enterprise customers begin this way. A Pilot engagement validates VR training on 2–4 high-priority procedures at a single plant, typically over 8–12 weeks. Pilot scenarios are reusable on the upgrade path to Plant or Enterprise tiers; you don't pay twice for the same content.
What about ongoing pricing after year one?
Annual content updates, technical support, and ongoing scenario refresh typically run 25–35% of the year-one engagement. On 3-year and 5-year commitments this percentage reduces meaningfully. Multi-plant networks deliver further reduction on a per-plant basis.
Do you offer multi-year discounts?
Yes — and procurement teams typically prefer them. 3-year and 5-year contracts get materially better year-two-onwards pricing and stabilise CapEx planning. Indicative reductions are 15–25% depending on commitment length and plant network size.
How does pricing differ between India, Gulf and Western markets?
The same scope of work prices differently across markets — driven by local cost-of-delivery, regulatory overhead, language requirements and customer-success staffing. Indicative ranges on this page reflect the geography in which the customer's plants are located, not where Drona VR is headquartered.
