Govt Taps Global Firms for Satellite Imagery
Financial Express Chandigarh
|July 21, 2025
With high-resolution satellite imagery proving to be indispensable in evolving battlefield situations, the government is learnt to have reached out to multiple global commercial earth-observation satellite players for sourcing it.
The initiation of talks with these satellite imagery providers comes in the wake of Operation Sindoor in May, where it has been inferred that China provided live inputs through satellite support to Pakistan. Senior Army officials have since said that when the DGMO-level talks were on, Pakistan flagged information about "specific vectors" on the Indian side that were being primed and readied for action, likely from satellite inputs facilities by China.
"We are in talks with commercial satellite imagery providers. We have to deepen our surveillance measures," an official said.
