India's private space sector experienced significant growth in 2025, driven by government policy continuity and expanding public-private partnerships, according to Lt. Gen. AK Bhatt of the Indian Space Association. Reforms translated into execution across satellite manufacturing, Earth observation, and communications. The private industry secured contracts, established production, and deployed satellites, contributing to India's space economy, valued at $9 billion and projected to reach $44 billion in a decade. India's global share is expected to rise from 2% to 8% by 2033.
