PRNewswire Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], August 13: In a historic move for the country, a private Indian consortium will deliver the nation's first Earth Observation Satellite System (EOSS), a 12-satellite network to be developed over the next four to five years with an investment of more than ₹1,200 crores. SatSure Joins India's First Indigenous Private EO Constellation to Deliver Sovereign-Ready, End-to-End Decision Intelligence Solutions. Key Highlights: * ₹1,200 crore EO-PPP programme awarded by IN-SPACe to build India's first fully-indigenous, fully-commercial satellite constellation comprising of 12 multi-sensor satellites to be built and operated by the consortium led by Pixxel Space, with SatSure, Dhruva Space, and PierSight as strategic partners, ushering in a new era of privately built sovereign earth observation capacity for India. * These satellites will be deployed over the next three to five years, integrating panchromatic, multispectral, hyperspectral, and Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) payloads for unmatched sensing capabilities. * SatSure will be contributing two satellites in this consortium, with its novel optical and multi-spectral wide swath imager developed by its subsidiary KaleidEO. The consortium of SatSure, Pixxel Space, PierSight, and Dhruva Space has been awarded to build, operate, and commercialize a constellation of Earth Observation (EO) satellite under the Earth Observation Public-Private-Partnership (EO-PPP) programme announced by IN-SPACe. Dr. Pawan Goenka, Chairman, IN-SPACe, highlighted how the programme reflects a structural shift in India's space industry, and said, "This initiative signals the coming of age of India's private space industry in the space sector. It demonstrates the capability and confidence of Indian companies to lead large-scale, technologically advanced, and commercially viable space missions that serve both national and global markets. The EO-PPP model fosters an ecosystem where public and private capabilities reinforce each other to drive growth, innovation, and self-reliance." Prateep Basu, Co-founder & CEO, SatSure said, "We are excited to have received this opportunity from IN-SPACe in contributing to building India's sovereign capabilities in the domain of satellite Earth observation and data intelligence. Together, with Pixxel Space, PierSight, and Dhruva Space, we have ensured that not only do we provide the most comprehensive solution for India's domestic EO needs, but also usher in a new era of private sector collaboration to achieve the monumental vision that IN-SPACe set for the growth of the Indian private space industry. SatSure, with its subsidiary KaleidEO, will be contributing by commercializing its novel optical and multi-spectral payload that provides high coverage at sub-meter spatial resolution. I believe this is a milestone not just for India's space story, but for how EO technology can deliver meaningful, measurable value to users across different industries."

Security personnel stand guard outside the Enforcement Directorate (ED) office in New Delhi.(HT File) At least eight premises in Lucknow and two in Delhi are being searched in the case against Rohtas Projects Ltd., the sources said. The action is being carried out under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), they said. The money laundering case stems from as many as 87 FIRs filed by home/commercial space buyers since 2021, alleging they were duped and not given their properties. As per a forensic audit conducted by the UP RERA (Uttar Pradesh Real Estate Regulatory Authority), the "proceeds of crime" in this case is ₹248 crore, the sources said. The searches are being conducted with an aim to find evidence and the assets of the promoters for attachment as they are "absconding" since the last four years, the sources claimed. The promoters of the company have been identified as Piyush Rastogi, Paresh Rastogi and Deepak Rastogi. The promoters or their legal representatives could not be contacted immediately for a comment on the ED action against them.
