IN-SPACe Invites EoI for LVM3 Technology Transfer
  • On 10 June 2026, IN-SPACe invited Expressions of Interest for the transfer of ISRO’s LVM3 (Bahubali) launch vehicle technology to private Indian companies. LVM3, India’s heaviest operational launcher used in Chandrayaan-2/3 and OneWeb missions, will be manufactured, operated, and commercialised by selected private entities.
  • Eligible firms must be Indian-owned with seven years of operation, five years in aerospace, and meet financial thresholds (₹800 crore turnover or ₹2,000 crore valuation). Support from ISRO will last up to 42 months or until two launches. This advances 2020 space sector reforms.
