When India allowed the private sector to enter the space industry, who held the position of Prime Minister

India allowed the private sector to enter the space industry in May 2020. At that time, the Prime Minister of India was Narendra Modi. His government announced the policy that encourages private players to participate in various space-related activities, marking a significant shift in India's space policy. This initiative aimed to enhance innovation and investment in the space sector, allowing private companies to build satellites, launch vehicles, and provide services traditionally reserved for state-owned organizations like the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). By inviting private sector participation, the government sought to boost the overall growth and development of India's space capabilities and increase competitiveness in the global space market.
