PM Modi Inaugurates Skyroot’s Infinity Campus, Highlights Space Reforms
New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday said India’s rapidly evolving space sector is fast emerging as a magnet for international investors, crediting sweeping reforms and a new climate of private-sector collaboration. He was speaking via video link at the inauguration of Skyroot Aerospace’s new “Infinity Campus,” which he described as a symbol of India’s “new thinking, bold innovation, and youth-driven ambition.”
Modi said that in the past 6–7 years, the government has unlocked India’s space potential by allowing private startups to closely engage with ISRO and access national infrastructure through IN-SPACe. “More than 300 space startups have now taken flight—many founded in tiny rented rooms with just two-to-five people—yet driven by the resolve to touch the skies,” he noted.
Today, India is witnessing an unprecedented moment in the space sector. The private sector is now making a major leap in India’s space ecosystem

The Prime Minister spotlighted Skyroot founders Pawan Kumar Chandana and Naga Bharath Daka as “inspirations to thousands of young space entrepreneurs,” praising their risk-taking spirit and confidence at a time when India’s space ecosystem was still opening up to private enterprise.
Modi drew a compelling contrast between India’s humble space origins—such as carrying rocket components to launch sites by bicycle—and its present-day global reputation for reliable and cost-effective launch systems. “ISRO has powered India’s space journey for decades, and through credibility, capacity and value, our nation now has a unique identity in the global space landscape,” he said.
The Prime Minister also highlighted that space-based capabilities are now foundational across sectors—agriculture, communication, marine surveillance, city planning, weather tracking and even national security. That, he stressed, is why the government introduced a new space policy and opened the doors to private innovation.

Underscoring the huge global appetite for small-satellite launches, data services and hardware manufacturing, Modi said international companies “want to build satellites in India, use India’s launch services and collaborate with Indian engineers,” reflecting strong faith in India’s technical ecosystem.
“India has space capabilities possessed by only a few countries—expert engineers, world-class manufacturing, proven launch facilities and a culture of innovation,” Modi asserted, predicting that the expanding global space economy will create massive new employment and entrepreneurship opportunities for young Indians.
Calling the ongoing transformation a decisive chapter of India’s larger startup revolution, the Prime Minister said India’s Gen-Z scientists, designers and space-tech engineers are now propelling a “Private Space Revolution,” one breakthrough at a time.
