India Boosts Private Sector Innovation in Defence and Spacetech Industries
India is advancing its defence and spacetech sectors through increased private-sector involvement and government initiatives. Programs like iDEX and ADITI support innovation in defence manufacturing, while spacetech startups benefit from funding via IN-SPACe and the RDI fund. Notable achievements include Skyroot Aerospace's rocket launch and Pixxel's major funding round. Despite growing investment and technological progress, startups in both sectors face challenges in achieving commercial viability and sustaining growth.
