India’s space industry is advancing rapidly. Once a nation with limited presence in the global space arena, India is now building a reputation for reliability and cost-effectiveness, while expanding its market share. For instance, Russia’s failed Moon mission cost nearly Rs 16,000 crore, whereas India’s successful Chandrayaan-3 achieved the same feat at just around Rs 600 crore, less than the budget of many Hollywood space films. Recently, Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s address once again brought the spotlight to this thriving sector.
On the occasion of National Space Day (August 23), let’s take a closer look at India’s remarkable space journey through this infographic.
Wrapping Up
India’s space sector today stands as a symbol of innovation, resilience, and self-reliance. From Aryabhata to Chandrayaan-3 and now Gaganyaan, the journey has shown that India can achieve ambitious goals even with limited resources. With the growing role of private players, supportive government policies, and the energy of young start-ups, India is on track to become a 15% stakeholder in the global space economy by 2047.
India is no longer just exploring space, it is shaping a new path of growth, development, and opportunities.
