While scholars have raised concerns on the definitional aspect of the ISP, its true test will be reading it along the lines of international treaty obligations. The policy will have to be backed by a Parliamentary enactment to provide an institutional regulatory framework, and to make the policy more effective in nature. The policy is described as a futuristic one that will boost the Indian Space Sector in the 21st century. The Roundtable in this event will provide a platform to discuss and deliberate on the Indian Space Policy and its future directions.
