India has introduced a safety rule for private companies planning to retrieve objects from space, setting a maximum casualty risk of 1 in 10,000. The regulation is designed to ensure that re-entry and return operations do not pose unacceptable danger to people on the ground. The requirement is part of a broader framework India is building to govern commercial space activities, including licensing and oversight. If operators cannot meet the threshold, authorities may require redesigns, additional mitigation measures, or rejection of the mission plan, tightening compliance expectations for emerging space startups.
