ISRO says space sector reforms focus on ecosystem expansion, not privatisation
ISRO clarified via social media that it will not be privatised and its role will not be diminished, countering media speculation. The space sector reforms focus on expanding the ecosystem through private sector participation under IN-SPACe, not privatisation. This aligns with the 2020 space sector reforms opening up the sector to non-government entities. The clarification is significant for exams as it tests understanding of India's space policy, IN-SPACe's role, and the distinction between privatisation and ecosystem expansion.
