The government is working on a new law to govern the space sector which has witnessed reforms over the past four years with private players making a mark in building and launching satellites, Union Minister Jitendra Singh said on Wednesday.
Singh said India's maiden human spaceflight programme  -- Gaganyaan -- was also progressing well and the first uncrewed mission was expected to be launched early next year.
"We are working on that," the minister of state in the Prime Minister's Office (PMO)
told a press conference here in response to a question on the timeline for the space activities bill, which would grant statutory cover to the reforms in the sector.
