Prime Minister Narendra Modi has just inaugurated Skyroot Aerospace’s new Infinity Campus in Hyderabad via video conferencing. This state-of-the-art facility spans 200,000 square feet and is designed for designing, developing, integrating, and testing multiple launch vehicles, with a capacity to produce one orbital rocket every month ¹ ² ³.
During the event, PM Modi also unveiled Vikram-I, Skyroot’s first orbital rocket capable of launching satellites into orbit. This marks a significant milestone for India’s space sector, highlighting the country’s growing capabilities in space technology.
Skyroot, founded by Pawan Chandana and Bharath Dhaka, former ISRO scientists, has already made history by launching India’s first sub-orbital rocket, Vikram-S, in November 2022. The company is now poised to accelerate its commercialization and scale up manufacturing capacity ¹ ⁴ ⁵.
PM Modi praised the government’s “historic” space reforms, which have opened up the sector to private players, leading to innovations like Skyroot’s Infinity Campus. He emphasized India’s growing space ecosystem, with over 300 space startups providing new opportunities ¹ ³ ⁶.
