The Union Cabinet has approved the continuation of the ongoing Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV) programme phase-4.
GSLV Phase-4 has five rocket flights during 2021-2024.
The continuation programme will meet the demand for the launch of satellites at a frequency up to two launches per year.
The GSLV continuation programme was initially sanctioned in 2003
The GSLV continuation programme is expected to meet the launch requirement of satellites for critical satellite services and India’s future space missions.
