A pivotal development in India’s space sector was the move toward commercialization in 2020 under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership. The formation of the Indian National Space Promotion and Authorization Center (IN-SPACe) facilitated private sector participation. This pathway allows domestic and international companies to undertake end-to-end space activities, including satellite manufacturing and launch services.
Innovative breakthroughs include the development of 3D-printed rockets by young Indian scientists—an achievement showcasing technological ingenuity. The government supports private entities by granting access to ISRO’s facilities, streamlining clearances, and enabling rapid development of space infrastructure.
