Though we have made some progress in Satellite manufacturing and launching we have not done so in nuclear field. The Super Computer manufacturing is also not doing exceeding well. May be all these are due to blocking by the Have-ones.
May be we start increasing investing on basic, applied and advance sciences from the new-found Dollars that we got from economic advancement. It will generate capable young minds toward Science as a consequence. And would eventually release us from dependence as most other developing country do on the developed ones, for every thing.

All Scientific and technology advancements need to have an economic basis to reach maturity. The technology must be spread for wider acceptance and over longer time so that "bugs" can be removed, it becomes cheaper and over time knowledge base grows.
In India's case only ISRO has had an economic platform, largely because of India's own needs. Otehr areas you mention, there is not enough demand or applications within India for things to go far. That's why you see most tech research in US, Europe and Japan. It is not just the superior and world class facilities there it is also that as incremental research happens, there is already a demand for that to give it economic basis.

We have to simultaneously invest adequately on the frontier tecnologies and remove the bottlenecks every where. Also the sources of corruption and the government interference are to be removed, before we think of saying we are going to be a developed nation.
