IN-SPACe Hands Over 5 ISRO Technologies to Boost India's Self-Reliance
- IN-SPACe transfers 5 ISRO technologies to Indian firms to cut import dependence.
- Tech spans biomedical, solar, aerospace, and manufacturing sectors.
- With these deals, total Technology Transfer Agreements now reach 98.
The Indian National Space Promotion and Authorization Centre (IN-SPACe) announced the transfer of five technologies developed by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) to Indian companies. The move is expected to cut India’s dependence on imports and promote indigenisation in key sectors.
The tripartite agreements were signed at IN-SPACe headquarters in Ahmedabad between NewSpace India Limited (NSIL), the recipient firms, and IN-SPACe. According to IN-SPACe, these transfers will help drive commercialization, strengthen self-reliance, and expand the use of space technologies in industries such as automotive, biomedical, solar, and manufacturing.
One of the technologies transferred is the Low Temperature Co-Fired Ceramic (LTCC) Multi-Chip Module, developed by ISRO’s Space Applications Centre (SAC). Voltix Semicon Pvt Ltd, Pune, has acquired it for biomedical applications, particularly in RT-PCR kits. This transfer will reduce import dependence and improve large-scale domestic production.
Another technology, a room-temperature curable adhesive named SILCEM R9, developed by ISRO’s Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC), has been acquired by Crest Speciality Resins Pvt Ltd, Ahmedabad, for use in solar panel bonding. Currently imported, this adhesive will now be available locally.
Azista Composites Pvt Ltd, Hyderabad, has received VSSC’s technology for Film Adhesives (EFA 1753 and EFA 1752). Ananth Technologies acquired the 30W HMC DC-DC Converter developed by the U R Rao Satellite Centre (URSC), while Pushpak Aerospace received URSC’s anodization technology for 3D-printed Al-10Si-Mg alloy.
“These transfers highlight the growing capability and confidence of Indian industry. While some will directly replace imports, others will open up applications far beyond the space sector”, said Pawan Goenka, Chairman, IN-SPACe.
With these five transfers, the total number of Technology Transfer Agreements (TTAs) facilitated by IN-SPACe has reached 98, Director Rajeev Jyoti said.
