Agnikul Cosmos Secures INR 67 Cr Funding for Space Launch Vehicle Development
A space company from India called Agnikul Cosmos has just received new funding of about $7.6 million.
This money will help them build more of their small rockets and get ready to launch them for customers.
They already raised a lot of money last year.
Agnikul is special because they are making rockets that are easier and cheaper to use.
Their main rocket is called Agnibaan, and it has a special engine that is printed in one piece using 3D technology.
They even have their own launchpad in India, which is a big deal.
Many other Indian space companies are also getting money from investors because people think space is going to be a very big business in the future.
Agnikul Cosmos has raised INR 67 Cr in a mix of equity and debt funding.
The funding round saw participation from Advenza Global, Atharva Green Ecotech LLP, and Pratithi Investments.
This fresh capital is intended for scaling manufacturing, expanding test facilities, and preparing for commercial launches.
Agnikul is developing small-lift launch vehicles, including the Agnibaan rocket powered by a 3D-printed semi-cryogenic engine.
The company aims to make space access more flexible and affordable, contributing to India's growing spacetech sector.
