Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is the national space agency
under the Department of Space, Goverment of India. The prime objective
of ISRO is to develop space technology and its application to accelerate
national development. ISRO has put two major national satellite systems,
namely INSAT and IRS, in place. The INSAT system provides a robust
infrastructure in space for telecom, broadcasting and meteorological
observations. IRS system provides high-quality data from space to
support natural resources management and their development tasks.
ISRO’s developments in launch vehicles such as PSLV and GSLV provide
reliable space transportation services for satellites in various orbits. ISRO
promotes extensive international cooperation and industrial spin offs from
its space activities, having successfully launched its Mars and Lunar crafts
(Mangalyaan and Chandrayaan series).

Indian Space Programme primarily focuses on deriving socio-economic
benefits from space technology and its applications for national
development. Over past five decades, having successfully realised 100
plus satellite missions, over 70 launch vehicle missions, missions to Moon
and Mars, and having embarked on the human space flight mission
(Gaganyaan); India is in the league of elite space-faring nations. Space
activities in India, from the very inception, had the participation of Indian
industry, with over 500 of them currently working with Indian Space
Research Organisation (ISRO). To meet the ever-increasing demands of
the Indian space programme and to commercially exploit the emerging
global space market, Indian Industries need to scale up their manufacturing
and production base. In order to commercially exploit the products and
services emanating from the Indian Space Programme, the NewSpace
India Limited (NSIL) has been incorporated in March 2019, as a whollyowned Government of India Company, under the administrative control
of Department of Space (DOS). NSIL currently has an authorised share
capital of 100 crore and paid-up capital of 10 crore. NSIL is the commercial
arm of Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO).

As India strategizes for the next 25 years to India@100, Indian industry must scale the competitiveness ladder to drive growth. It must also internalize the tenets of sustainability and climate action and accelerate its globalisation journey for leadership in a changing world. The role played by Indian industry will be central to the country’s progress and success as a nation. CII, with the Theme for 2023- 24 as ‘Towards a Competitive and Sustainable India@100: Growth, Livelihood, Globalisation, Building Trust’ has prioritized 6 action themes that will catalyze the journey of the country towards the vision of India@100.
