ISRO staff bodies seek clarity on privatisation policy shift

Employee associations at the Indian Space Research Organisation have written to ISRO chairman and Department of Space secretary V Narayanan, seeking clarity on the government's privatisation policy.

The staff bodies have raised concerns about the direction of ISRO's shift towards involving the private sector in space activities. The letter reflects employee uncertainty about how the proposed changes may impact the organisation's structure and operations.

The move comes as India's space sector continues to evolve, with increased emphasis on private participation alongside ISRO's traditional role in space missions and research.
