Union Minister of Science and Technology, Dr. Jitendra Singh said India’s space sector is undergoing a decisive transformation that directly reflects the theme of this year’s India International Space Conclave (IISC 2025) — “Expanding Horizons: Innovation, Inclusion & Resilience in the New Space Age.”
Addressing the industry leaders, global agencies, diplomats and start-ups at the event organised by the Indian Space Association (ISpA), he said the government’s reforms have created an enabling ecosystem where talent, technology and investment can converge to shape the future of India’s space economy.
The Minister noted that the theme was “very thoughtfully coined” because it captures the new energy visible across India’s fast-growing space ecosystem.
The Minister said that while India always had scientific capability, the turning point came when policy makers created an environment that encouraged innovation and broad-based participation. Reforms introduced since 2019, including opening the sector to private players, establishing IN-SPACe as a single-window regulatory body, and releasing the space policy in 2023, have helped India expand its role in the global space landscape.
As IISC 2025 brought together ministries, industry, space agencies, investors, start-ups and academia, Dr. Jitendra Singh said the deliberations will further strengthen India’s efforts toward building an innovative, inclusive and resilient space ecosystem.
