ISRO Mulls Exiting Manufacturing Amid India’s Push To Promote Privatisation In The Space Industry
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) plans to cease manufacturing launch vehicles, transferring technology to private firms and public-sector undertakings. This shift aims to enhance private sector involvement in India's space economy, allowing ISRO to focus on research and advanced missions. The transition begins with the Small Satellite Launch Vehicle technology, with future transfers expected for larger vehicles like PSLV and LVM3.
