With IN-SPACe now offering up to 100% subsidies on transfer fees and PSLV technology up for bids, the real question is whether India is building an industry or giving away public R&D too cheaply. It asked a simple but uncomfortable question: Is India selling its hard-earned space technology too cheaply? Here it is useful to understand what "technology transfer" means. Its founding purpose was to apply space technology to national development -- communication, weather warning, crop mapping, fishing, education. A 30% subsidy on technology transfer fees is part of a three-year Price Support Scheme running till February 2029.
