ISRO has clarified that it will not be privatised and will continue to lead India’s space programme, focusing on advanced research, strategic missions, human spaceflight, next-generation launch systems, and planetary exploration. The private sector’s growing role is meant to complement ISRO’s capabilities, scaling mature technologies and expanding India’s space ecosystem under reforms initiated since 2020.
India is entering a new phase of human spaceflight and deep-space exploration, with missions including Gaganyaan, Bharatiya Antariksh Station, Venus Orbiter Mission and reusable launch vehicles. The initiatives aim to strengthen human spaceflight, advanced technologies and India’s global space leadership
