India and Space Exploration: Need for a Legal Framework for Space Exploration

Space exploration has become a reality with technological advancements and increased commercial space activities. India has played a significant role in international agreements and treaties that address critical issues in space exploration. However, these instruments have deficiencies and face grave challenges with the growing interest of both government and private entities in Space. The Indian space industry is facing a big problem because there are no clear laws about space exploration in India. To address these challenges, the Indian government must develop a legal framework for space exploration, which is critical for encouraging private sector participation and investment in the space industry.
