Space startup Agnikul announced plans to set up a facility in Andhra Pradesh for manufacturing orbital data centre units.
Agnikul, an Indian private launch‑vehicle developer, said it will create a dedicated plant in Andhra Pradesh to produce orbital data‑centre units, components vital for satellite communication and data handling.
The initiative dovetails with the state’s ambition to become a hub for space‑technology manufacturing, leveraging its existing aerospace ecosystem and proximity to ISRO installations.
While the company did not disclose exact investment or timelines, the facility is expected to generate employment and bolster India’s expanding satellite services market.
Agnikul aims to supply the units to both domestic and overseas satellite operators, enhancing data throughput and resilience for future missions.
