India's space sector is undergoing a transformative decade. The global space economy is projected at $626–691 Bn in 2025, with India's space budget rising steadily from ₹2,263 Cr in FY03 to ₹13,416 Cr in FY26. The commercial space sector has been boosted by the establishment of NSIL (2019) and IN-SPACe (2020), leading to over 400 registered space startups. With missions like Chandrayaan-3, Aditya-L1, and Gaganyaan upcoming, India is cementing its position as a global space power.

India's flagship space missions have made history: Chandrayaan-1 discovered water on the Moon, Mangalyaan made India the first country to reach Mars orbit on its first attempt, Chandrayaan-3 achieved the first soft landing near the lunar south pole, and Aditya-L1 is now studying the Sun. The upcoming Gaganyaan mission will make India the fourth nation to send humans to space. These missions have demonstrated India's technical prowess at a fraction of the cost of other space agencies.
