ISRO Staff Bodies Demand Clarity on Space Sector Privatization

Nine ISRO staff associations have formally written to the Union government seeking written clarification regarding the trajectory and extent of privatization within the Indian space sector.

The letter, sent following a recent GSLV launch, requests a direct response from the ISRO chairman to address concerns about the potential circumscription of the agency's traditional role.

This marks the first time such a collective formal inquiry has been made, reflecting growing internal apprehension among scientists regarding the shift toward private sector involvement in national space missions.
