The Statesman
|December 15, 2024
The country's space economy is set to increase threefold in the next 10 years, Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Science and Technology, Dr Jitendra Singh, said on Saturday.
Addressing a media event in the national capital, the minister said that India's space, marine and Himalayan resources, which remained inadequately explored before Prime Minister Narendra Modi took over, will contribute substantially to India's future economic growth.
"India is on the path of raising its space sector to global standards. The country has made a quantum jump since 2014 in the space economy," he noted.
