Reaching for the Stars: India Targets Five-Fold Boost In Its Space Economy
Indian Minister of State, Jitendra Singh highlighted the sector's financial progress, noting a $159 million income from foreign satellite launches, out of the $174 million received in the past 30 years.
India aims to significantly boost its contribution to the global space economy, says Minister of State Jitendra Singh, who oversees the nation's space and nuclear sectors.
“India’s share in the global space economy is now a modest 8 billion, and by 2040, we expect it to increase fivefold. Over the past nine years, the budget of the Indian space industry has grown by 142%; over a five-year period, the number of private company startups in it has reached 200,” said the minister cited by India Today.
Of the 447 satellites launched by India since the 1990s, more than 90%, or 389 satellites, have entered Earth's orbit in the last nine years.
