Space startups such as GalaxEye Space, Dhruva Space and Pixxel have called on the government to implement a digital public infrastructure (DPI) for earth observation-based geospatial analytics. The Indian Space Association (ISpA) has sent a representation to the government making a similar pitch, saying it will open new horizons for India’s booming space sector.
The government must commit towards procuring and integrating these solutions, according to the space companies, since space technologies find widespread applications across areas such as agriculture, disaster management, infrastructure planning and urban development.
