The Indian National Space Promotion and Authorization Centre (IN-SPACe) announced on Wednesday that it has facilitated the transfer of five technologies developed by ISRO to Indian industries, a move aimed at reducing dependence on imports and promoting indigenisation. The agreements were signed at IN-SPACe headquarters in Ahmedabad between NewSpace India Limited (NSIL), the recipient companies, and IN-SPACe. The technologies are expected to enable commercial applications across sectors including automotive, biomedical, solar energy, and advanced manufacturing.
Among the transfers, the Low Temperature Co-Fired Ceramic (LTCC) Multi-Chip Module developed by ISRO’s Space Applications Centre (SAC) was acquired by Pune-based Voltix Semicon Pvt Ltd. This technology will support domestic production of biomedical devices such as RT-PCR kits, an area currently dependent on imports.
Another transfer involves the RTV Silicone Single-Part Adhesive (SILCEM R9), created by the Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC), which will now be produced by Crest Speciality Resins Pvt Ltd Ahmedabad, for use in solar panel bonding. Hyderabad’s Azista Composites Pvt Ltd has received rights to manufacture Film Adhesives EFA 1753 and EFA 1752, developed by VSSC.
Ananth Technologies has been granted the 30W HMC DC-DC Converter from the U R Rao Satellite Centre (URSC), while Pushpak Aerospace acquired the anodization technology for 3D-printed Al-10Si-Mg alloy, also developed by URSC. “These transfers highlight the increasing capability of Indian industry. Some will directly replace imports, while others open doors to wider applications beyond the space sector,” said Pawan Goenka, Chairman of IN-SPACe.
With the latest agreements, the total number of ISRO technology transfers facilitated through IN-SPACe has reached 98, according to Rajeev Jyoti, Director, Technical Directorate, IN-SPACe. The Indian National Space Promotion and Authorization Centre (IN-SPACe) is an autonomous nodal agency under the Department of Space, Government of India, established to promote, authorize, and regulate the participation of non-governmental entities (NGEs) in India’s space sector.
Headquartered in Ahmedabad, IN-SPACe acts as a single-window facilitator for private industry, start-ups, and academia to access ISRO’s infrastructure, expertise, and technologies. By enabling technology transfer, fostering public-private partnerships, and encouraging commercial applications of space innovations, IN-SPACe plays a pivotal role in advancing India’s self-reliance and global competitiveness in the space economy.
