"Chandrayaan-3 moon landing spurs economic growth prospects for India"

Historic Achievement Opens Doors to Economic Opportunities

India celebrated a historic achievement as the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) successfully landed Chandrayaan-3 on the Moon. The accomplishment not only evoked national pride but also generated a wave of economic possibilities across various sectors, propelling India closer to its aspiration of becoming the world's third-largest economy.

The triumph of Chandrayaan-3 has created a new horizon of opportunities for start-ups and businesses in space technology, aerospace, defense, and research and development (R&D). Experts believe that the success of the mission will encourage the government to allocate more resources to space research and drive private investments in related sectors, ultimately contributing to economic growth. With India already hosting around 140 registered space-tech start-ups, the successful lunar mission could further elevate the nation's position as a cost-effective satellite launcher, particularly benefiting aerospace and defense sectors.

Mukesh Kochar, National Head - Wealth Management at AUM Capital, stated that India's contribution to the global space economy could grow from 2-3% to 8-10% in the next decade, bolstered by the achievement of Chandrayaan-3. This expansion has the potential to establish India as a prominent satellite launcher and create global opportunities. The increased investment in space start-ups and the anticipated rise in budgetary allocations will likely drive economic progress.
