India Plans to Expand Space Economy with Increased Private Sector Participation
India aims to grow its space economy from USD 8.4 billion to USD 44 billion, driven by rising demand for low Earth orbit satellites for internet and Earth observation. The government has increased launch capacity with a new Small Satellite Launch Vehicle pad in Tamil Nadu and introduced reforms since 2020 to boost private sector participation. IN-SPACe facilitates private companies' involvement, supporting over 450 space startups and numerous MSMEs, enhancing the domestic space ecosystem.
