Trilegal and SAM Advise Pixxel and IN-SPACe on India’s First Earth Observation PPP

Trilegal and Shardul Amarchand Mangaldas (SAM) advised Pixxel and IN-SPACe on India’s first public-private partnership to design, build, and operate a fully indigenous commercial Earth Observation satellite constellation valued at over ₹1,200 crore, with SAM acting for IIFCL Projects, IN-SPACe’s transaction adviser.

The project will be executed by a consortium comprising Pixxel, SatSure, PierSight and Dhruva Space, which will deploy a 12-satellite constellation over five years using optical, multispectral, hyperspectral and synthetic aperture radar (SAR) payloads.

The system will provide satellite imagery and analytics to commercial, government and strategic customers.
