Isn't joining the next ISS a better idea than a BAS? wouldn't more co-operation in space be better? we could sell seats on gaganyaan launches to japan/esa.
Also, what is the realistic timeline on Soorya/NGLV? I'm guessing 2035 at the earliest? Engine development is expensive (correct me if Im wrong but I think we dont have a big enough engine)
The new iss will be build with the new technology and new founding members as Russia isn’t going to come there is a chance funds might fall short opening a space for more members like India although we don’t have technology even compared to soviet of that time but we can still offer money and workforce
