India has slowly formed and build capacity in the space sector as over 500 companies, vendors and ancillaries to ISRO and DRDO are now coming of age and transforming to technology companies. Also, a thriving Newspace Industry is mushrooming. In all of this, all ventures trying to work on propulsion, rocket or spacecraft struggle to find a path as there is no clear policy, regulation or recognition of the domain by the Indian government. All aspects from explosives licensing to setting up facilities, testing to building for space are restricted by a jargon of non conclusive license and approval procedures. For India to develop private capacity to build, launch and operate spacecrafts , and meet the demands of future launch requirements, a major regulatory reform is required. India will need a policy that regulates and facilitates all aspects of working with propulsion covering propellant systems and propellant design, manufacturing, testing, transportation, trade and use.

What are problems in the current license regime? What are the biggest non technical challenges faced by companies looking to work with propulsion?
