Hyderabad-based Dhruva Space recently secured ₹105 crore under the Research, Development & Innovation Fund (RDIF) to power ‘Project Garud’, a major step towards strengthening India’s private-sector satellite capabilities.
About Project Garud:
It is a satellite platform programme launched by Hyderabad-based space startup Dhruva Space.
It is focused on developing a flat-pack 500 kg-class satellite platform designed for scalable and high-volume manufacturing.
It is positioned to bridge the gap between smaller experimental satellites and larger traditional systems.
The platform is being developed as a standardised, production-oriented spacecraft capable of supporting multiple mission c
The satellite architecture is aimed at applications across Telecommunications, National Security, Earth Observation, and emerging data-driven use cases.
The platform introduces a flat-pack architecture that enables efficient launch stacking, faster system integration, and improved deployment timelines, making it suitable for large-scale satellite deployments.
Dhruva Space will also establish the infrastructure, tooling, and industrial processes required for high-volume satellite manufacturing at scale.
The manufacturing roadmap is designed to support production of up to two satellites per day, translating into an annual manufacturing capacity of nearly 500-600 satellites.
