The premier space organization has already submitted a draft policy to the department of space, he added.
Isro already has established its commercial arm NewSpace India Limited to handle all its Marketing operations. The space agency has plans to launch Aditya Mission to place its spacecraft in the halo orbit between Earth and Sun, said Somnath, adding no such plan has been devised so far for asteroid.
The Isro also plans to set up a second launch station at Kulasekharapatinam in Nadu, he said.

We invest only in projects having utility and with defined goals, and not in show-off kind of things. We work on low-cost models.
