    As per the existing FDI policy, FDI is permitted in establishment and operation of Satellites through the Government approval route only.  In line with the vision and strategy under the Indian Space Policy 2023, the Union Cabinet has eased the FDI policy on Space sector by prescribing liberalized FDI thresholds for various sub-sectors/activities. As follows: Under the amended FDI policy, 100% FDI is allowed in space sector. The entry route for the various activities under the amended policy are as follows: 1.Upto 74% under Automatic route: Satellites-Manufacturing & Operation, Satellite Data Products and Ground Segment & User Segment.
