Seeking to further increase private participation, the government will soon unveil a new space policy that could see the rise of India's own "SpaceX-like ventures", Principal Scientific Adviser Ajay Kumar Sood has said.
In an interview to news agency PTI, the government's top science adviser said consultations have taken place and the final version of the space policy would soon be referred to the Empowered Technology Group for further examination.
"Space policy is in the works. We have not been using it much, but the new technology of low earth orbit (LEO) satellites... that is a low cost game."
"There are a huge number of satellites in LEO. That will change the space sector," said Mr Sood, who assumed office on April 25.
