New Delhi: The Indian National Space Promotion and Authorisation Centre (IN-SPACe) on Thursday said it facilitated the transfer of 10 state-of-the-art technologies developed by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) to six Indian companies.  The tripartite Technology Transfer Agreements (TTAs) were signed between NewSpace India Limited (NSIL), the six companies, and IN-SPACe at the IN-SPACe headquarters in Ahmedabad. The technology transfers will give private players the opportunity to access the developed technologies available with ISRO, enabling them to use space-related technology for commercial applications in space as well as other sectors. The technologies that foster satellite launch, ground station infrastructure, and geospatial applications are expected to deepen industry participation, enable indigenisation, and reduce dependency on foreign technologies. “The transfer of these technologies marks yet another significant step towards empowering the private sector to harness and commercialise space technologies. ISRO has a flourishing repository of R&D in space technologies, and it is time we leverage that to the optimum to strengthen India’s space industrial ecosystem, and in that, industry-led innovation will play a key role,” said Dr. Pawan Goenka, Chairman, IN-SPACe. Two advanced inertial sensors — the Laser Gyroscope and the Ceramic Servo Accelerometer — developed by ISRO’s Inertial Systems Unit, for potential use in satellite launch vehicles, have been transferred to Hyderabad-based Zetatek Technologies. The company has over 25 years of expertise in Inertial Navigation System (INS) testing, calibration, and QA/QT equipment. Three technologies related to ground station operations — S/X/Ka tri-band dual circular polarised monopulse feed, tri-axis antenna control servo system, and Ku/C/L and S Band Cassegrain feed — have been transferred to Avantel and Jisnu Communications, Hyderabad-based companies specialising in end-to-end communications solutions for space and defence platforms. These technologies, currently sourced from foreign vendors, will enable self-reliance in critical ground station infrastructure. Further, two geospatial models developed by SAC/ISRO for pest forewarning and semi-physical crop yield estimation were transferred to Ahmedabad-based Amnex Info Technologies, to be deployed in agricultural decision-making and crop protection. A compact, multi-parameter, portable bathymetry system developed by NRSC/ISRO has been transferred to Jalkruti Water Solutions, Ahmedabad, to enable UAV-based integration for water resource monitoring. Further, VSSC/ISRO’s ceramic-based flame-proof coating technology — originally developed for launch vehicle applications — has been acquired by Ramdev Chemicals, Ahmedabad, for wider industrial applications. “With this transfer, we are taking a pivotal step toward building indigenous capabilities within India. ISRO, IN-SPACe, and NSIL will collaboratively provide comprehensive handholding support to all the industry players to ensure successful absorption of the technology,” said Rajeev Jyoti, Director, Technical Directorate, IN-SPACe.

New Delhi: Union Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal said on Saturday that India is emerging as a global leader in technology and innovation, driven by its young population, cost-effective R&D ecosystem, and forward-looking policies.  He asserted that India’s embrace of technologies like artificial intelligence, machine learning, quantum computing, and data analytics is helping the country move up the global growth chart. In a video message shared on the social media platform X, Goyal highlighted that India’s innovation costs are significantly lower than those in Western economies. “When we work on new technologies in India, our cost is nearly one-sixth or one-seventh of what it would be in Switzerland or Europe or America,” he said. He pointed out that with a $12 billion investment in innovation, India can effectively generate outcomes worth $100 billion — the equivalent cost in developed nations. Minister @PiyushGoyal delivered the keynote address at the @IITMadras Alumni Association event, Sangam 2025, in Bengaluru. He spoke about how making a future-ready India is at the centre of various policy initiatives of the Modi government, which is driving innovation and growth… pic.twitter.com/BzMu2tHymE — Piyush Goyal Office (@PiyushGoyalOffc) July 5, 2025 “And when we roll that money over three or four cycles, you can imagine the scale of support this fund can provide to our innovation ecosystem,” Goyal added while speaking at the IIT Madras Alumni Association’s Sangam 2025 event. The minister said that India is transforming from a job-seeking nation to one of job creators, thanks to its thriving startup and research landscape. “Our science and technology, combined with our startup ecosystem and R&D efforts, are writing the India growth story of the future,” he said. Goyal credited the youth of the country for driving this transformation, stating that India’s young population is leading innovation, research, and technology adoption across sectors and government programmes. He further emphasised that India does not shy away from adopting new technologies, and instead views them as essential to economic growth. “They are being absorbed in our manufacturing, services, and business sectors, helping India become the fastest-growing large economy in the world,” the minister said. “This tech-driven approach is helping India buck the global slowdown trend and expand its presence in international trade and innovation leadership,” the Union Minister mentioned.
