An Indian spacetech startup has secured fresh capital to scale its role in the fast growing global space monitoring market. Digantara Industries said on Tuesday that it has raised $50 million in a new funding round to strengthen indigenous space surveillance capabilities and expand its international footprint.
The Bengaluru based company said the funding will support its push in the $60 billion global space monitoring and intelligence market. The round saw participation from large investors including SBI Holdings Japan, 360 One Asset, and film producer Ronnie Screwvala. Existing backers include Peak XV Partners and Kalaari Capital. The company did not disclose its valuation following the funding.
Founded in 2020, Digantara focuses on building homegrown hardware, software, and AI driven analytics solutions for governments and defence agencies. Its services currently support clients across India, the US, UK, Singapore, Australia, and Japan. The company plans to enter European markets by mid 2026.
The need for space surveillance is rising as space traffic and orbital debris continue to increase globally. Low Earth orbit remains the most crowded region due to its balance of lower launch costs and closer proximity to Earth. This has made it a key zone for the expanding commercial space sector, increasing the demand for accurate monitoring and intelligence systems.
Digantara also operates a commercial space surveillance satellite named SCOT, which was launched in January 2025. Alongside satellite operations, the company is developing indigenous systems with all hardware designed and manufactured in Bengaluru.
With this latest funding, Digantara aims to deepen its technology capabilities and support safer and more sustainable use of space as satellite launches and orbital activity continue to rise worldwide.
