This white paper by CII outlines how Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) can accelerate India’s NewSpace economy, recommending frameworks, funding models, and risk-sharing mechanisms to strengthen private participation and build resilient space infrastructure for a globally competitive Viksit Bharat in space. It emphasizes bridging government expertise with private innovation to scale India’s role in the trillion-dollar global space market.

The paper is prepared after a discussion on “Public–Private Partnerships to Expedite the NewSpace Economy” organised under CII Strategic Dialogue on Exploring PPP in the Emerging Sectors, held on 28 March 2026 in New Delhi.
