AHMEDABAD: Indian National Space Promotion and Authorization Centre (IN-SPACe) was constituted in October 2021 as part of the far-reaching reforms in the space sector brought out by the Government of India, aiming towards boosting private sector participation in the entire range of space activities. IN-SPACe was created with a mandate to regulate and authorize all space activities undertaken by the Government entities and Non-Government Entities (NGEs), along with its role as a promoter, enabler, and supervisor for the NGEs engaged in the space activities in the country.
The release of the Indian Space Policy-2023 in April 2023 by the Government of India was a watershed moment for the Indian space sector. This policy permitted NGEs to participate in space activities end-to-end. In line with the role of IN-SPACe defined in ISP-2023, IN-SPACe has formulated and released today the Norms, Guidelines, and Procedures (NGP) for implementation of the Indian Space Policy 2023 in respect of Authorization of Space Activities.
The NGP would complement the Government’s endeavor to provide a predictable regulatory regime, transparency, and ease of doing business in the Indian space sector. The NGP document lists space activities that need authorization from IN-SPACe, specifies criteria for granting such authorizations, and provides necessary guidelines/pre-requisites to be fulfilled by an Applicant for making authorization application to IN-SPACe. The NGP document can be viewed and downloaded from IN-SPACe digital portal (www.inspace.gov.in)
