Indian Space Policy 2023
The Indian Space Policy 2023 was released in April 2023 and represents the most comprehensive overhaul of India's space governance since the founding of ISRO. It clearly delineates roles: ISRO focuses on research and national missions; NewSpace India Limited (NSIL) handles commercialisation of ISRO-developed technology; and IN-SPACe enables and regulates private sector activities. The policy explicitly opens the entire value chain — launch vehicles, satellites, ground systems, data services — to private participation.
- Released: April 2023
- ISRO's role redefined: core R&D and national security missions; technology transfer to NSIL and private players
- NSIL: Government commercial arm for space activities
- IN-SPACe: regulator and promoter for NGEs
- Policy explicitly allows private entities to build, launch, and operate satellites and launch vehicles
