Innovations for Defence Excellence (iDEX), a pivotal initiative by the Ministry of Defence, marked a significant milestone by signing its 350th contract with SpacePixxel Technologies Pvt Ltd. This historic agreement, signed on June 25, 2024, in New Delhi, involves the design and development of an innovative miniaturised satellite capable of carrying multiple payloads up to 150 kg, including Electro-Optical, Infrared, Synthetic Aperture Radar, and Hyperspectral sensors.

The contract was exchanged in a ceremony attended by key figures such as the Additional Secretary (Defence Production) & CEO of the Defence Innovation Organisation (DIO), Shri Anurag Bajpai, and the Founder & CEO of SpacePixxel Technologies, Shri Awais Ahmed Nadeem Alduri. Also present were Defence Secretary Shri Giridhar Aramane and other high-ranking civil and military officials.

This latest agreement highlights a significant acceleration in iDEX’s contract signings, with the 150th contract being signed in December 2022 and reaching the 350th in just 18 months. This rapid advancement underscores iDEX’s role in driving innovation within the defence sector, particularly in sophisticated space electronics. The miniaturisation of payloads traditionally used in larger satellites facilitates quicker, more economical deployment and manufacturing, and offers scalability and adaptability while minimizing environmental impact.

iDEX has notably been at the forefront of the defence innovation landscape since its inception by the DIO under the Department of Defence Production. Having been recognized with the Prime Minister Award for Public Policy in the Innovation Category in 2021, iDEX has launched 11 editions of the Defence India Start-up Challenge (DISC) and introduced the ADITI scheme to boost critical defence technologies.

The initiative now collaborates with over 400 startups and MSMEs, having facilitated procurement of 35 items worth over Rs 2,000 crore, thus significantly contributing to job creation and the overall growth of the defence ecosystem.
