After a smooth 27.5 hr countdown, the 51.7 m tall vehicle, with a lift off mass of 420 tonnes, took off majestically from the Second Launch Pad at 1735 hrs from the SHAR-Range here and after a flight duration of 19 minutes successfully injected the Satellite into the orbit.

ISRO later posted on X: " The vehicle has successfully placed the satellite into the intended geosynchronous transfer orbit."
