ISRO Chairman Dr. V. Narayanan hailed Skyroot Aerospace’s successful maiden launch of the Vikram-1 rocket as a major milestone for India’s growing private space ecosystem. Crediting the 2020 space sector reforms and the government’s support, he praised Skyroot’s young team and said the achievement reflects the strength of India’s startup ecosystem. Calling it “an excellent beginning,” Narayanan said the success marks the start of a new era in Indian rocketry.
