ISRO: None of us decided spectrum lease to Devas
New Delhi: Indian Space Research Organisation has said none of its official or anyone from Antrix Corporation or Space department was involved in the decision to lease precious S-band spectrum to Devas Multimedia at a throw away price in a controversial satellite deal which has been since annulled by the Centre. The ISRO, which came under criticism over the deal that could have caused a huge loss to the exchequer, also refused to make public the contract which its commercial arm Antrix Corporation Limited had signed with Devas Multimedia in January 2005. The space organisation said in response to an RTI query seeking names of officials, who were party to decision making for the deal that "none of the officials of Department of Space/Indian Space Research Organisation were involved in the decision making process regarding allocation of S-band spectrum to Devas Multimedia.
