India's space economy is projected to touch USD 44-45 billion from USD 8 billion today in the coming decades. Speaking at the 4th edition of the India International Space Conclave (IISC) 2025 in New Delhi, Dr Jitendra Singh, Minister of State (IC) for Science & Technology and Department of Space, said space is expected to be a significant contributor to India's economic growth as it advances up the ranks, on the back of space reforms in the last five years.

“Around 70 % of our space-driven applications are for ease of living and with a focus on the common citizen, which is not the specific attention of many countries that are actively working in the space sector," ANI reported Singh as saying.

Indian Space Association (ISpA), the premier industry association of space and satellite companies in India, in collaboration with ISRO and IN-SPACe, on Tuesday kicked off the 4th edition of the India International Space Conclave (IISC) 2025 in New Delhi.

During the inaugural session, Viasat India announced a partnership with BSNL to commercialise Viasat's Velaris satellite connectivity solutions for uncrewed aircraft. The technology will support secure BVLOS operations and help power India's fast-growing low-altitude economy.

Novaspace also announced the launch of its India office in Bengaluru to strengthen collaboration with government, industry, and startups, and to expand its global consulting and market-intelligence network.

Speaking about the Viasat–BSNL partnership, Gautam Sharma, MD, Viasat India, said: “We are excited to launch the Velaris solution to support India's growing low-altitude economy, covering UAVs and advanced air mobility like air ambulances. This connectivity will enable secure command and control for critical operations such as infrastructure monitoring and emergency services. We are also partnering with Indian startups and BSNL to build a strong and innovative ecosystem for this emerging sector."
