Assam will host ISRO’s Advanced Radar Research Centre at Chandrapur, near Guwahati. The facility is being developed under Project NETRA (Network for Space Object Tracking and Analysis), which aims to strengthen India’s Space Situational Awareness capabilities. The Assam government has allotted 200 bighas of land for the project. The centre will monitor and track orbital debris and other space objects, helping protect critical national space assets from potential collisions. The project marks a significant expansion of advanced space infrastructure and technology into Northeast India. ISRO, established in 1969, is headquartered in Bengaluru, Karnataka.
