IN-SPACe has offered Rs 67.15 crore to four Indian companies under its Technology Adoption Fund, according to October 31 reports by India Today and PTI. Manastu Space, Inspecity Space Laboratories, VyomIC and MumbaiSemi were selected to develop propulsion, precision timing and navigation technologies. These are milestone-linked funding offers, not a venture-capital round or confirmation that the full amount has been paid.
Manastu Space has been offered Rs 22.08 crore for an iodine-based Hall-effect thruster for small satellites. Inspecity has been offered Rs 21.18 crore for a refuellable propulsion system for microsatellites. The projects target satellite manoeuvring and future servicing capabilities; selection does not establish that either product is already commercially deployed.
VyomIC has been offered Rs 12.55 crore for precise, secure clocks for space applications. MumbaiSemi has been offered Rs 11.34 crore for a receiver system-on-chip supporting NavIC and GPS. The four offers add up to Rs 67.15 crore. Their purpose is to build domestic capability in components that underpin positioning, navigation and timing.
IN-SPACe's official scheme page describes TAF as a Rs 500 crore programme supporting the move from early-stage technology to commercially viable products. It provides partial project funding, capped at Rs 25 crore per project. The latest four selections follow three announced in June 2026, taking the number selected to seven. Project implementation and release of support remain tied to defined milestones.
FundForge Insight: this is a technology-development story before it is a revenue story. Partial public funding can help bridge expensive testing and qualification work, but companies still need to demonstrate performance, meet milestones and win customers. Watch validated hardware, integration with customer systems and repeat commercial orders rather than treating a funding offer as proof of market adoption.
