Astrobase Space Technologies To Invest ₹800 Crore In Andhra Pradesh For Rocket Testing Expansion
India’s private space sector is set for another major infrastructure push. Bengaluru-based Astrobase Space Technologies has signed an MoU with the Andhra Pradesh Economic Development Board to invest ₹800 crore in expanding its rocket testing facility at Thimmasamudram in Sri Sathya Sai district. The project will add 339 acres to the existing 22-acre facility, taking its total area to approximately 360 acres.
The expanded facility will support rocket stage development, static hot-fire testing, stage-level hop tests and validation of reusable launch vehicle technologies. The project is expected to create around 500 direct and 1,000 indirect jobs, strengthening India's capabilities in launch vehicle development and space transportation.
