Summary:

Mr. V Narayanan, Chairman of ISRO, revealed that India plans to deploy 100-150 satellites over the next three years to improve border security and coastal monitoring. Currently, India operates around 55 satellites, which are insufficient for comprehensive coverage given the country’s vast borders and 7,500-kilometer coastline. Mr. Narayanan emphasized that Prime Minister Modi’s recent reforms, which allow private participation in rocket and satellite development, will support this expansion.

He highlighted ISRO’s recent accomplishments, including the second satellite docking in its SpaDeX mission, making India one of only four countries—along with the United States, Russia, and China—to achieve this feat. Ongoing initiatives include a satellite for climate change research, with India contributing 50% of the payload for G20 countries. He also discussed ISRO’s role in national security. During the same session, Mr. Aravindan Selvaraj demonstrated AI-powered robotic technology for advanced surgeries.
