INDIA'S FIRST PRIVATE ROCKET REACHED ORBIT — FROM A COMPANY THAT EXISTED BEFORE THE LAW DID

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Skyroot's Vikram-1 became the first privately built Indian rocket to reach orbit on July 18. It reached success on the first attempt and delivered a payload to about 450 km. India has no space statute, and its entire private space industry runs on executive policy. Skyroot is targeting roughly one rocket launch a month from 2027.
