India’s space agency, ISRO, plans 10 orbital launches in 2025, including its first commercial launch.

Highlights include four GSLV missions, a human-rated LVM-3 for the Gaganyaan spaceflight program, and a joint Earth science mission with NASA, NISAR, launching in March.

The Gaganyaan program’s G1 mission is slated for March, with two additional test flights (G2 and G3) before the crewed mission in 2026.

ISRO also aims to establish an Indian Space Station by 2035 and conduct a crewed moon landing by 2040, Space News has reported.

The private sector is growing, with Skyroot Aerospace planning its first Vikram-1 rocket launch.
