IN-SPACe Facilitates Transfer of Five ISRO Technologies to Indian Industries

The Indian National Space Promotion and Authorization Centre (IN-SPACe) facilitated the transfer of five technologies developed by ISRO to five Indian companies. The tripartite agreements were signed between NewSpace India Limited (NSIL), the recipient industries, and IN-SPACe at its headquarters in Ahmedabad.

The transfers are aimed at driving commercialization, strengthening self-reliance, reducing imports, and enabling wider applications of space technologies in sectors such as automotive, biomedical, and industrial manufacturing.

One of the technologies, the Low Temperature Co-Fired Ceramic (LTCC) Multi-Chip Module, developed by SAC, enables the integration of multiple semiconductor chips into a single compact module. This has been acquired by M/s Voltix Semicon Pvt. Ltd., Pune, for biomedical use, particularly in RT-PCR kits requiring high-volume production. Voltix currently depends on imports for this technology; the Transfer of Technology (ToT) will enhance domestic capability and self-reliance.

Another, the RTV Silicone Single-Part Adhesive (SILCEM R9), developed by VSSC, is a room-temperature curable adhesive. It has been acquired by M/s Crest Speciality Resins Pvt. Ltd., Ahmedabad, for solar panel bonding. At present, this adhesive is imported; the ToT will ensure local availability, reduce dependence on imports, and boost indigenization.

Commenting on the technology transfer, Dr. Pawan Goenka, Chairman, IN-SPACe, said: “These transfers highlight the growing capability and confidence of Indian industry. While some of these technologies will directly substitute imports, others will unlock applications well beyond the space sector. The true impact will be realized when industry scales them up for widespread use. IN-SPACe, together with ISRO and NSIL, will remain a strong partner in enabling that journey.’’

Shri Rajeev Jyoti, Director, Technical Directorate, IN-SPACe, said,“ With today’s five Technology Transfer Agreements (TTAs), the total number of TTAs executed with industries has reached 98. There is strong interest from industry in acquiring these technologies, and IN-SPACe continues to promote them for wider adoption.”

A total of five technologies were transferred to industries under today’s agreements.

• Voltix Semicon Pvt. Ltd., Pune – Low Temperature Co-Fired Ceramic (LTCC) Multi-Chip Module Technology (SAC), for biomedical applications; import substitute.
• Crest Speciality Resins Pvt. Ltd., Ahmedabad – RTV Silicone Single-Part Adhesive (SILCEM R9), developed by VSSC for solar panel bonding; import substitute.
• Azista Composites Pvt. Ltd., Hyderabad – Film Adhesives EFA 1753 and EFA 1752 developed by VSSC.
• Ananth Technologies Pvt. Ltd., Hyderabad – 30W HMC DC-DC Converter developed by URSC.
• Pushpak Aerospace India Pvt. Ltd., Bengaluru – Anodization of 3D-printed Al-10Si-Mg alloy developed by URSC.
