From orbit to opportunity: Redefining connectivity

As India approaches 2025, the country's space technology and satellite communications (satcom) sector is poised for a transformative shift. The Indian Space à Policy 2023 has marked the beginning of a new era, encouraging participation by the private sector and unlocking unprecedented opportunities for innovation and growth in the space economy. This momentum has been further bolstered by the New Telecommunications Act 2023, which addressed the satcom industry's long-standing spectrum allocation demand, specifically for space-based applications.

The most significant trend shaping India's space sector is the democratisation of space access. With the government placing a strong emphasis on private sector participation, particularly fostering startups, the country is witnessing a surge in space technology innovations. This transformation is pivotal in achieving India's aspiration to become a global hub for space technology and realise its ambitious goal of a USD 1 trillion digital economy by 2025.

Satellite communications are evolving rapidly, with both Geostationary (GSO) and Non-Geostationary (NGSO) systems playing pivotal roles. Integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in network management is further enhancing efficiency and reliability, enabling modern satellite constellations to deliver high-throughput capabilities. This advancement positions satellite broadband as a viable solution for achieving universal connectivity.
