Indian Space Research Organisation or ISRO's GSAT-11 satellite also called the "Big Bird " was successfully launched into space from the French space port of Kourou in South America.
It will help provide satellite-based internet to remote places where cable-based internet cannot reach.
The satellite, weighing 5,854 kg, is the heaviest Indian-made equipment that the agency (ISRO) put into its orbit.
GSAT-11 is equivalent to the combined power of almost all communications satellites sent into orbit by India.
