ISRO Shares Five Technologies with Private Firms

Swift Summary:

• IN-SPACe’s Role: The Indian National Space Promotion and authorization Centre (IN-SPACe) facilitated the transfer of five ISRO technologies to five Indian companies to boost self-reliance, reduce imports, and promote wider applications of space technologies.
• Biomedical Sector: Voltix Semicon Pvt. Ltd., Pune received the Low Temperature Co-Fired Ceramic (LTCC) Multi-Chip Module, useful for RT-PCR kits. This aims to enhance domestic capability in biomedical technology production.
• solar Panel bonding: Crest Speciality Resins Pvt. Ltd.,Ahmedabad acquired RTV Silicone Single-Part Adhesive (SILCEM R9),designed for solar panel bonding,reducing reliance on imported adhesives.
• Industrial Applications: Other transfers include:

– Film Adhesives EFA 1753 & EFA 1752 given to Azista Composites Pvt. Ltd., Hyderabad.
– 30W HMC DC-DC Converter provided to ananth Technologies Pvt.Ltd., Hyderabad.
– Technology for anodisation of a 3D-printed Al-10Si-Mg alloy transferred to Pushpak Aerospace India Pvt. Ltd., Bengaluru.

Indian Opinion Analysis:

The transfer of ISRO-developed technologies under IN-SPACe’s stewardship marks a critical move toward industrial indigenization and reducing import dependence across sectors like automotive, biomedical, and renewable energy. By enabling private players access to advanced space-related innovations such as multi-chip modules and adhesives tailored for solar panels or semiconductor integration,this initiative fosters greater commercialization opportunities beyond traditional aerospace use cases.

This collaborative model between India’s premier research institutions and its growing private sector is aligned with long-term national goals such as “Atmanirbhar Bharat” (self-reliant India). As these technologies scale into widespread industry applications domestically, they could catalyze greater innovation within India while strengthening economic competitiveness globally.
