As per the DPIIT Start-up India Portal, around 440 space technology startups are registered in India. IN-SPACe has granted 113 authorisations to 52 Non-Government Entities (NGEs) to carry out various space activities, out of which 18 are start-ups, the details of which is enclosed at Annexure-I.
The details of financial, technical and incubation support provided to space startups through Indian National Space Promotion and Authorisation Centre (IN-SPACe) are enclosed at Annexure-II.
Further, NSIL, in coordination with IN-SPACe, has been transferring various technologies developed at ISRO/ Department of Space. As on date, NSIL has signed 118 Technology Transfer Agreements for transferring 83 technologies developed at ISRO/ Department of Space to Indian Industry.
This includes critical space technologies like Small Satellite Launch Vehicle (SSLV) technology, Indian Mini Satellite-1 (IMS-1) Bus, ISRO Laser Gyro (ILG), Tri-band (S, X, Ka) Antenna Feed, Ceramic Servo Accelerometer (CSA), X band Mini-SAR and Low Temperature Co-Fired Ceramic (LTCC) Multi Chip Module technology.
NSIL has transferred many technologies to Indian start-ups in the space sector and have been providing hand holding for them to successfully assimilate the technology and to use it for commercial basis. In addition to that NSIL also facilitates various Indian industries / Govt. PSU for utilization of ISRO technical facilities for validation of the technology / product being developed by them.
The Government has undertaken several proactive measures following the liberalization of the space sector, in order to promote participation of startups in satellite manufacturing, launch services, downstream applications and space-based technologies
As on today there is no proposal or plan to establish or support additional space incubation centres, testing facilities or innovation hubs in Andhra Pradesh.
The Government has undertaken several measures following the liberalisation of the space sector. These measures encompass policy and regulatory reforms, infrastructure access, technology transfer, funding support, and capacity building through skill development to foster a vibrant private space ecosystem
IN-SPACe is facilitating the transfer of available ISRO technologies to industry while also identifying and consolidating the technology requirements of industry for future technology development and transfer. Till date 118 Technology Transfer Agreements have been executed through NSIL.
To facilitate technology transfer, NSIL is promoting greater participation of private enterprises through transparent technology transfer processes and industry-friendly policies. It is promoting private sector participation through industry partnerships, capacity building, and opportunities across satellite manufacturing, integration, testing, and downstream services.
Further, IN-SPACe is taking forward the planned transfer of Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) and Launch Vehicle Mark-3 (LVM3) technologies to enable greater private sector participation in launch vehicle manufacturing and operations
The Government has also introduced various investment support schemes for space startups, including the IN-SPACe Seed Fund Scheme, the Technology Adoption Fund (TAF), and the Rs.1,000 crore Venture Capital Fund. As a result of these policy interventions and the growing participation of the private sector, cumulative investments in Indian space start-ups have reached approximately USD 618.5 million as on 31 March 2026, with the investment landscape progressively shifting from early-stage seed funding towards larger growth-stage investment rounds
IN-SPACe actively engages with foreign governments, space agencies, industry, and other stakeholders to promote and facilitate international collaborations for the Indian commercial space sector, including startups. The key initiatives undertaken by IN-SPACe include:
These initiatives have enabled collaboration opportunities for the Indian private space sector with stakeholders across more than 30 countries
