The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is developing its own independent orbital space station, Bharatiya Antariksha Station (BAS), which is set to launch by 2035. This would make India the second country, after China, to have an independently operating space outpost.

The development of India's own space station reflects the agency's operational maturity and its capabilities in launching numerous satellites, both Indian and international.
