Chinese drone maker, DJI, announced that governments are not their direct customers, in response to an earlier report that the alleged Indian "spy drone" shot down by Pakistan was made by its company.

According to "Global Times" DJI also said it is not difficult to purchase their drones via the company's website or through any vendors.

DJI is a Chinese technology company founded in 2006 by Frank Wang and headquartered in Shenzhen, Guangdong.

Reports said it has grown 100 times in the past five years with an estimated value at 10 billion yuan ($1.6 billion). The company claims to have 70 percent world-wide market share of the civilian drones.

It was also reported that 500 American companies have licenses to use drones, among them 50 percent use DJI products.

DJI manufactures commercial and recreational unmanned aerial vehicles for aerial photography and videography.
