Private Sector Milestones Strengthen Investor Interest In Space Hardware
India’s private space industry is gearing up for rapid growth in satellite manufacturing, driven by recent milestones and strengthened investor interest. However, industry leaders highlight challenges in launch access, domestic component availability, and financing models. Dhruva Space and other companies are working to overcome these hurdles, with Dhruva aiming to produce one satellite a month from next year. The government’s Satellite Based Surveillance-3 programme is an early test of private-sector capacity, with 31 satellites being built by three private consortiums.
