India's New Spaceport Built by ISRO to Be Operated by Private Companies
India's upcoming second spaceport in Tamil Nadu, built by ISRO, will be operated by private Indian companies under the Indian Space Policy 2023. The Indian National Space Promotion and Authorisation Centre (IN-SPACe) has invited private entities to manage the facility, which is designed primarily to serve private space startups like Skyroot Aerospace and Agnikul Cosmos, as well as Hindustan Aeronautics Limited. The government aims to increase launch frequency to about one every two weeks, reflecting a shift to greater private sector involvement in India's space program.
