Foreign companies to now get access to Indian space technology

India has now amended its transfer of Technology (ToT) policy for the space sector to allow foreign companies direct access to technologies developed by Isro and the department of space (DoS) for the first time.

Isro has at least 500 technologies ready for transfer, of which about 400 are already with more than 233 Indian private firms and are open to more firms. Now, foreign firms can also access most of these technologies, but dual-use and other sensitive patented technologies will have restrictions.
