Tamil Nadu Approves Space Policy, Targets Rs 100 Billion Investment

The Tamil Nadu Cabinet has approved the Tamil Nadu Space Policy, making it one of the first states in India to adopt a dedicated strategy for the space sector. The policy aims to position the state as a hub for innovation, manufacturing, and space-tech services.

The initiative is expected to attract investments worth Rs 100 billion and generate at least ten thousand high-value jobs for skilled youth in space technologies and services. Beyond manufacturing, the policy supports downstream innovation and space-tech services, encouraging participation from startups, micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs), and large companies.

To facilitate sector-specific growth, the government plans to establish “Space Bays” — dedicated industrial zones tailored for the space ecosystem. Special incentive packages will be offered to both small startups and major industry players willing to set up operations within these zones.

Officials said the policy is aimed at developing a future-ready, skilled workforce while creating a competitive ecosystem for the space industry within the state. The move aligns with Tamil Nadu’s broader vision of leveraging technology-led development to create high-value employment and long-term economic growth.
