Karnataka launches space technology policy to boost space sector
Karnataka just rolled out its new Space Technology Policy 2025-2030, aiming to turn the state into India's top space tech hotspot.
Unveiled at the Bengaluru Tech Summit, the plan hopes to draw in $3 billion in investments over five years and set up special Space Manufacturing Parks with assembly and testing infrastructure.
Why should you care?
This policy isn't just about rockets—it's about creating real opportunities.
Karnataka wants to grab half of India's $22 billion space market by 2033 and make a mark globally too.
The state plans to back 500 startups and MSMEs, help launch over 50 satellites, and train 50,000 people (including 15,000 women) with support from ISRO, IN-SPACe, academia, and industry.
If you're into tech or dreaming of working in space science, this could open doors for you right here at home.
