India ka Space Business: Ek Nayi Udaan!
Reports ke mutaabik, India apne space sector mein ek bada leap lagata hua dikh raha hai, lekin kuch challenges bhi hai. Ek nayi report, ‘Unlocking India’s Space Economy’, batati hai ki kaafi progress hua hai, par ek strong legal framework ki kami abhi bhi badi problem hai. Iss report ko EY aur FICCI ne taiyar kiya hai.
Kaun Kitna Aage?
Global space market bahut bada hai – $1.8 trillion tak pahuchne ki ummeed hai 2035 tak! India ne abhi tak sirf 2% market share hi liya hai, jo ki $8.4 billion hai. China 13% ($80 billion) aur USA toh 40% ($250 billion) se zyada market share lekar baitha hai. India ka target hai 2033 tak $44 billion ka space economy banana.
Challenges aur Opportunities
Report mein kuch challenges bhi bataye gaye hai. Jaise ki, zyadatar space components import karne padte hai, aur launch sites bhi kam hai. Sirf Sriharikota mein hi rockets launch hote hai, dusra launch port abhi ban raha hai. Policy aur rules bhi saaf nahin hai, liability aur insurance ke baare mein bhi clarity ki kami hai.
Private Sector ka Role
Achhi baat yeh hai ki India ka space sector ab government se zyada private players pe depend karne laga hai. 250 se zyada private space startups hai, jo ISRO ke saath milkar kaam kar rahe hai. Satellite communication (SATCOM) aur Earth Observation mein bahut potential hai, jisse 2033 tak $14.8 billion aur $8 billion ka business ho sakta hai. Yeh sab rural areas mein connectivity badhane mein madad karega.
Sarkar ka Support
Sarkar bhi pura support kar rahi hai. Agle 10 saal mein Rs 50,000 crore se zyada investment hone ki ummeed hai. 52 surveillance satellites launch hone wale hai, jinmein se 31 private sector banayega. ‘Bahubali’ rocket (Launch Vehicle Mark-3) ki 60 units banne wali hai. Gaganyaan aur space station projects ke liye bhi Rs 35,000 crore diya ja raha hai.
Kya challenges hai?
Funding ek badi problem hai. India sirf 0.07% GDP space pe kharch karta hai, jabki USA 0.28% kharch karta hai. USA chaar guna zyada kharch karke tees guna zyada return leta hai.
Future kya hai?
Ek nayi space activities bill pe kaam ho raha hai, lekin parliamentary approvals mein time lag sakta hai. Abhi tak koi private company ko mandatory liability insurance lena jaruri nahin hai. Par experts confident hai ki India ka space journey successful hoga. Bas ambition ke saath action bhi zaruri hai!
