New Delhi: Space regulator IN-SPACe has granted 113 authorisations to 52 non-government entities (NGEs) – 18 of them start-ups – to carry out various space activities, since the sector’s opening to the private sector, Union Minister Jitendra Singh told Parliament on Wednesday. Singh said that NewSpace India Limited (NSIL) — the commercial arm of ISRO — in coordination with IN-SPACe, has transferred various technologies developed by ISRO/Department of Space to private entities. “NSIL has transferred many technologies to Indian start-ups in the space sector and has been providing hand-holding for them to successfully assimilate the technology and to use it for commercial basis,” Singh said.
