The Indian National Space Promotion and Authorisation Centre (IN‑SPACe) has facilitated the transfer of 10 state‑of‑the‑art technologies developed by ISRO to six Indian private firms, under tripartite agreements with NewSpace India Limited (NSIL). These technologies span the entire space value chain—upstream launch systems, midstream ground‑station infrastructure, and downstream geospatial applications. Highlights include the transfer of advanced inertial sensors (Laser Gyroscope and Ceramic Servo Accelerometer) to Hyderabad’s Zetatek Technologies, tri‑band ground‑station components to Avantel and Jisnu Communications, geospatial decision‑support models to Amnex Info Technologies, and a novel flame‑proof coating system. IN‑SPACe Chairman Pawan Goenka emphasized that this move is “another significant step towards empowering the private sector to harness and commercialise space technologies,” enabling deeper indigenisation and reducing dependency on foreign suppliers.

This milestone marks a major boost for India’s private space sector—helping companies develop satellite launch and ground‑station capabilities, and commercialise geospatial tools for agriculture and defence. The agreements were signed today at IN‑SPACe’s headquarters in Ahmedabad .
