Renewed focus on ISRO's role in India's space policy
India's space policy separates ISRO's research role from IN-SPACe, which authorises private space activity, and NSIL, which commercialises ISRO's technologies.

Attention has turned to how India's space policy structures ISRO's role alongside newer institutions created to widen private participation.
The Indian National Space Promotion and Authorisation Centre (IN-SPACe) was set up as a single-window agency to authorise and promote private space activities.
NewSpace India Limited (NSIL), a public sector undertaking, is separately tasked with commercialising ISRO's technologies and launch services.
