India Accelerates BRICS Space Ambitions with Satellite Launch Surge
India is carving out an 8-10% share of the global commercial space market, leveraging a new Hyderabad facility capable of producing one orbital rocket monthly. Prime Minister Narendra Modi's VIRTUAL inauguration underscores strategic investments in launch infrastructure, with private sector startups now exceeding 300—up from single digits in 2021.
The facility's multi-vehicle assembly line signals a pivot toward scalable satellite deployment, positioning India as a Core BRICS player in space logistics. Modi credited national research institutions for enabling this leap, which coincides with rising demand for affordable launch services worldwide.
