Overview
Theme: Privatization of Space Sector
The Indian space economy needs to scale up to harness the enormous untapped potential of space opportunities. The vast amount of potential offered by the private sector needs to be tapped in order to meet the increasing demand for space-based data and knowledge. The Draft Space Remote Sensing Policy, and Space Communications Policy released by the Department of Space establishes and reinforces the government’s desire to encourage participation of private companies in space activities for enhancing the diffusion of space technology and boosting space economy in the country. The transition from a supply-based model to a demand-based model, will require understanding user requirements and developing solutions which makes access to knowledge for decision-making easier for all users. The experience and expertise of the private sector in the development of solutions catering to user demands will thus be beneficial for the growth of the space ecosystem. The capital and time intensive nature of space activities raises the need for promotion and hand-holding from the government, and well defined business models for sharing the risks and benefits among the public and private stakeholders. The increased involvement of private companies in the space sector will create healthy competition thereby leading to the sustained growth of the space industry in the country.
