Measat Global Berhad, Malaysia’s premier spacetech solutions provider, has secured authorisation from the Indian National Space Promotion and Authorisation Centre (IN-SPACe) on 30 June 2025 to offer its satellite services in India through NewSpace India Limited (NSIL). In a statement, the company said that with IN-SPACe’s authorisation, Measat is now able to provide space-based communications and broadcasting services in the Indian market, in line with the Indian Space Policy’s requirements for foreign satellite operators.
To commemorate the appointment of NSIL as Measat’s local partner, a signing ceremony was held in Bengaluru, with Measat represented by its chief operating officer Yau Chyong Lim and NSIL by its then chairman and managing director, Radhakrishnan Durairaj. Also present were Measat’s chief commercial officer Ganendra Selvaraj and NSIL’s strategy and technical director A Arunachalam.
NSIL, a government-owned company under India’s Department of Space, is a satellite owner and operator providing services to both government and private sector users. It also delivers a range of space-based products and services derived from the Indian Space Programme to global clients, while fostering growth within India’s space industry.
Through NSIL, Measat offers satellite capacity to pay-TV operators and broadcasters in India, facilitating the distribution of over 600 TV channels and reaching more than 11 million Direct-to-Home customers. Measat also supports video content distribution across Asia, Australia, Africa, and Southern Europe.
Yau Chyong Lim said, “We are honoured to receive authorisation from IN-SPACe to offer satellite services in India through NSIL. We have worked with NSIL in various capacities and are pleased to continue expanding and strengthening our collaboration.”
He added, “Their vast experience in India will be a key advantage as Measat leverages its capabilities and satellite fleet to support current and future client needs. Whether in broadcasting, bridging the rural communications gap, or other areas, we are confident that Measat’s portfolio of services holds broad potential in this region in the coming years.”
Radhakrishnan Durairaj said, “We warmly welcome IN-SPACe’s authorisation for Measat to offer its satellite services in India and are pleased to be their partner in this market. With access to Measat’s capacity, Indian broadcasters will benefit from one of the strongest satellite neighbourhoods in the Asia Pacific to deliver a wide range of content to global audiences. As a long-time partner of Measat, we hope such international collaborations will contribute to India’s national space goals and help local businesses across sectors achieve their growth targets.”
