"Recognizing the full potential of space for strategic purposes was previously limited to public and civilian applications. However, we now see a clear need to enhance our capabilities for national security and collaborate to scale up. India has the capability to launch reasonably, but further scaling up and generating demand is capital-intensive. We must reduce the cost of space access and drive application development. Decision-makers need to support and accelerate industry growth." Shri S. Somanath, Secretary Department of Space and Chairman, ISRO at DEFSAT 2023
