Pricing Policy of Satellites
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has given proposal for pricing of satellite transponders for public and non- government users. A proposal for continuing the existing method of transponder pricing which is based on type of services, band of operations, coverage area, power level is under consideration.
There are 13 INSAT/GSAT satellites in orbit, out of which 11 are communication satellites and 2 are meteorological satellites. In INSAT/GSAT communication satellite systems, there are about 37 Government users and about 49 non-government users.
The transponder characteristics in terms of power, coverage, frequency band, etc., vary according to the type of service which requires differential pricing.
There are 5 DTH service providers using transponder capacity leased from foreign satellites. Measures are taken by ISRO to augment satellite capacity in Indian Government administered system so that the DTH users shall have the option to migrate to INSAT system.
This information was given by the Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) Development of North-Eastern Region (DoNER), MoS PMO, Personnel, Public Grievances & Pensions, Atomic Energy and Space, Dr Jitendra Singh in reply to unstarred question in Lok Sabha today.
