The study found that the space spending is expected to increase further by an average of 14.8% annually over the next four years and estimated to be `100 billion ($2.17 billion) by 2014. Currently, I India is ranked sixth globally in terms of space budget and technological capabilities, behind the US, Europe, Japan, Russia and China.
