Why? Because this isn’t just about launching small rockets. It’s about handing the keys to India’s second spaceport to private industry. Located in Kulasekarapattinam, this site avoids the tricky dog-leg maneuver needed at Sriharikota; meaning more payload, less fuel, faster launches. IN-SPACe has issued an EoI, and Indian companies can now bid to manage the entire launch complex; from safety to logistics to mission readiness. Even better? ISRO will train and guide the chosen operator. This follows HAL’s ₹511 crore buyout of SSLV tech. If you’re dreaming of a career in space tech, this is your cue; the private Indian space era has officially begun.
