Port Louis, Mauritius – The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) sent a three‑day delegation to Mauritius, boosting the India‑Mauritius joint satellite project.
During the trip, ISRO scientists met with members of the Mauritius Research and Innovation Council (MRIC) and ran the fourth Joint Working Group meeting. A half‑day workshop on the satellite gathered Mauritius’s Minister of Tertiary Education, Science and Research, Kaviraj Sukon, and Indian Deputy High Commissioner Aparna Ganesan, along with other officials.
Earlier this year, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited Mauritius and talked extensively with Prime Minister Navinchandra Ramgoolam about deepening ties. Both leaders praised the space partnership, which has helped both countries build satellite skills and technology. They pledged to push the satellite program forward, offering training for Mauritian scientists at ISRO.
The leaders also agreed to expand weather and climate services. Mauritius will get new weather‑forecasting tools, Wave Rider buoys, and a multi‑hazard emergency system to strengthen disaster response.
In addition, the ISRO Telemetry and Tracking Centre in Mauritius will continue to operate and may grow. The governments plan to explore new space and climate‑change projects, including an Earth‑observation system. This initiative will be carried out by ISRO and India’s Ministry of Earth Sciences under the QUAD framework, helping Mauritius monitor extreme weather events and study climate impacts.
With these steps, India and Mauritius are set to build stronger technology ties, improve climate resilience and share space expertise.
