Enhancing India’s Space Launch capabilities

[Neeraj Khandelwal @neerajKh_]

India’s launch market in 10 years from today is 4 billion annually. Assuming conservative numbers. Space launch businesses will be significantly critical and in my estimate, the country will become a global space backbone outside US. Iff Indian diplomacy is dependable.

@sva_haa @devakumar_t Indeed

[Devakumar @devakumar_t]

Not many understand how space industry works! @astrobase_space is here to redefine India’s space exploration paradigm! It’s just the beginning of a decade, a century!

Infrastructure that is being built by Astrobase will live long in supporting every space mission for India.
@RahulRao_1992 thanks for catching the jargon and making it readable.

India’s homegrown 80ton Lox-methane FFSC rocket engine development gets 2.6mil USD grant from space regulator!!

Thanks @INSPACeIND for the recognition and support. @astrobase_space

[Astrobase Space @astrobase_space]

Thank you @INSPACeIND for selecting us under the Technology Adoption Fund to support the development of our indigenous 800 kN LOX–methane rocket engine. Currently undergoing hot-fire testing, this marks a key milestone in advancing India's sovereign space capabilities.

The world cannot be dependent on just SpaceX/US. And not every country will build its own end to end space infrastructure. India is a viable alternative. The only country outside US and China. Thats the @astrobase_space mid term goal

[Abhay Karandikar @karandi65]

It was a pleasure to meet my former @iitbombay students, Sumit Gupta @smtgpt and Neeraj Khandelwal @neerajKh_ , who have built remarkable entrepreneurial journeys driven by innovation and technology.

As co-founders of @CoinDCX (https://t.co/IiamdHCCSo), India’s first crypto unicorn, they created one of the country’s leading digital asset platforms.

Frankly, Space is one Deeptech infra work where India is positioned excellently to reach to a global scale fast.

Think about it. Currently, space is dominated by only US and China. But almost every serious nation is dependent on Space for national security and civilian needs. And these 100 nations cannot be relying on US/China only. That's too dangerous and too geopolitically charged up. These nations also cannot develop full stack space Infra on their own.

This is where India steps in. As a geopolitically neutral, reliable Space Infra partner for the rest of the world. India has Talent (Thanks for ISRO), know how, strong domestic demand and regulatory clarity to make this happen. That's rare. India is the next top contender globally. No other country matches India on this front. Think of what we have already achieved - CE-20 Fully cryogenic engine, Moon landing, Gaganyaan on the way, GSLV, PSLV. Salute to ISRO.

Astrobase is geared for making India a reliable Global space infra partner.

Infrastructure for India’s next era in space.

[Neeraj Khandelwal @neerajKh_]

The main Choke point of Orbital Infrastructure is the propulsion. Choke point of the Propulsion is the iteration speed. Iteration speed is defined by how fast you can test the design revisions. That’s why Astrobase has built its own testing facility for high frequency testing. Worth noting that only a handful companies globally have this kind of infrastructure. Astrobase now owns the Choke point. And it’s going to be operational fairly soon

[Astrobase Space @astrobase_space]

@Zorixastra @neerajKh_ @TheBeevash Point noted!

Built for LOX Methane Engine qualification

[Astrobase Space @astrobase_space]

Astrobase Space Technologies is building the Indo-European space industrial corridor — positioning India as a reliable, long-term partner for nations whose national security depends on resilient access to space.
Our agreement with Impulso Space at @SpaceVeneto 2026, the first concluded during the Indian delegation's visit, marks an early step in that direction. Our thanks to @IndiainItaly and @INSPACeIND for the continued support.

[India in Italy @IndiainItaly]

Embassy welcomes the signing of a strategic partnership framework between @astrobase_space Technologies of India & Impulso Space.
The growing momentum in 🇮🇳🇮🇹commercial space collaboration also strengthens the India–Europe space industrial corridor.

ఆంధ్రప్రదేశ్‌లో ‘స్పేస్ సిటీ’ నిర్మాణం వేగంగా వాస్తవరూపం దాల్చబోతుంది.

ఆస్ట్రోబేస్ సంస్థ భారత్‌లోనే తొలి ప్రైవేట్ 200-టన్ త్రస్ట్ క్రయోజెనిక్ ఇంజిన్ టెస్ట్ ఫెసిలిటీని ఆంధ్రప్రదేశ్‌లో ఏర్పాటు చేస్తోంది. కలగా మొదలైన ఆలోచన ఇప్పుడు కార్యరూపంలోకి మారుతోంది.

అత్యాధునిక సాంకేతిక ఆవిష్కరణలకు కేంద్రంగా ఆంధ్రప్రదేశ్ ఎదుగుతోంది. భవిష్యత్తు మరింత కాంతివంతంగా ఉండబోతోంది.

@PemmasaniOnX Thank you, sir. Building from Andhra Pradesh has been the right decision. More to share in the months ahead.

This is what the site looked like 11 months ago. From barren land to the one fires engines.

[Devakumar @devakumar_t]

Nothing like it in India, with best shot at pacing India’s space close to SpaceX with raptor like FFSC engines tested and mastered before they make flight! Excited to make rocket engines work for real. @astrobase_space

[Astrobase Space @astrobase_space]

This is where propulsion stops being a prototype and becomes an operational capability. 21.5 acres. Built in-house. Coming online.
