Bengaluru Space Expo roster lists many space and related companies

Bengaluru Space Expo 2026 was scheduled to open at the Bangalore International Exhibition Centre on Monday, September 7, and run through September 9. The organiser’s September 5 roster listed many space and space-related companies as exhibitors. Before the opening, company-controlled posts documented attendance, exhibition or sponsorship plans from Skyroot Aerospace, Pixxel, XDLINX Space Labs, Manastu Space, GalaxEye, Bellatrix Aerospace, Maargin and General Datum.

CII4SPACE’s April announcement describes the show as the ninth edition and lists the Confederation of Indian Industry, the Indian Space Research Organisation, the Indian National Space Promotion and Authorisation Centre and NewSpace India Limited as organisers. It gives the theme as Harnessing Space for Global Progress: Innovation, Policy, and Growth. Its figures for more than 250 exhibitors, more than 12,000 business visitors, more than 1,000 delegates and participation from more than 20 countries are organiser projections, not verified attendance totals.

Verified company attendance and booth plans

Skyroot said it would be in Hall 1 at booth G2. Pixxel directed visitors to booth E2 in the same hall. XDLINX, which described itself as a diamond sponsor, gave booth D9 and said it planned to show visitors projects and missions now in development. These posts establish intended presence and display plans; they do not establish what hardware will actually be on the floor.

Manastu Space said a 10-member team would be at booth B8 in Hall 1. GalaxEye named booth E1 on the ground floor and said its team would discuss OptoSAR, which it describes as combining optical and radar imaging on one satellite. Bellatrix said it was returning to BSX and would publicly show new products, but its post did not name those products or a booth number.

Maargin, a satellite communications and computing startup, gave booth 34A in Hall 1. General Datum said it was a platinum sponsor and would be at booth G20. The organiser’s September 5 exhibitor list includes all eight named examples, providing a second record of their expected presence even though booth details in company posts could still change.

The same 12-page roster includes many more space and space-related companies than the eight with company-controlled posts reviewed for this article. Other listed exhibitors include Agnikul Cosmos, Ananth Technologies, Astrogate Labs, Astrome Technologies, Azista Industries, Dhruva Space, Digantara, Eon Space Labs, Gimbalspace, Orbitaid Aerospace, Takeme2Space, Vast and Viasat. The roster also covers launch, satellite, propulsion, Earth-observation, communications and supply-chain businesses alongside government and international pavilions. The eight companies described above have the additional support of directly checked company posts; they are examples, not a total attendance count.

What the draft programme puts on the agenda

The organiser’s September 6 draft programme listed Day 1 registration from 8 a.m. local time, while its live conference page listed registration and networking from 7:30 a.m.; both put the inaugural session at 10 a.m. The draft’s overview scheduled the exhibition inauguration for noon, but its detailed inaugural page listed 11:45 a.m. Afternoon panels were scheduled to cover private-sector scale, next-generation satellites and integration of the space ecosystem; the programme listed Skyroot co-founder Naga Bharath Daka on the private-sector panel. Attendees were advised to check the organiser’s programme before travelling.

The draft scheduled Day 2 around Earth observation, IN-SPACe policy and regulation, human spaceflight and deep-space exploration, sustainable access to space, artificial intelligence and industry collaboration. It listed a 4 p.m. talk by Indian astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla and placed GalaxEye co-founder Suyash Singh on the Earth-observation panel.

The draft scheduled Day 3 around space-based defence, international market and technology access, and sessions involving Japan and Australia. Its final scheduled conversation listed retired NASA astronaut Sunita Williams, Indian astronaut Angad Pratap and Vast executive Tom Shelley from 1:45 p.m., followed by lunch and programme closure.

Plans remained provisional

The organiser labelled its September 6 programme as a draft, so sessions, speakers and timings remained subject to change. Company posts were statements of intent from interested parties. Bellatrix’s reference to new products, XDLINX’s reference to upcoming projects and the other booth notices were plans in this pre-event preview; final attendance and displays were not independently observed.

The first dated checkpoint was the exhibition opening on September 7; the reviewed draft gave 11:45 a.m. and noon in different places. For this pre-event preview, useful follow-up records would have been any final floor map, changed booth allocation, named product reveal, signed agreement or technical announcement made at the show. The verified record at publication was that many space and space-related companies were listed for the event, while company-controlled posts documented plans from the eight named examples; this article does not establish which listed organisations ultimately appeared.
