IN-SPACe Funds Four Indian Space Startups with Rs 67 Crore for Indigenous Technologies
IN-SPACe has allocated Rs 67.15 crore to four Indian space startups to develop indigenous technologies including satellite propulsion, in-orbit servicing, and precision timing systems. The funded companies—Manastu Space, Inspecity Space Laboratories, VyomIC, and MumbaiSemi—are working on innovations such as iodine-fueled engines for small satellites, refillable engines, and secure clocks for navigation. This funding builds on earlier support for three companies selected in June 2026, aiming to strengthen India's domestic space ecosystem and promote industry participation.
