ISRO is venturing into super-heavy class with plans for a mega rocket as tall as a 40-storey building (~120 m), capable of launching 75,000 kg (75 tonnes) into low Earth orbit (LEO). ISRO Chairman V. Narayanan emphasized this bold project as a game-changer in orbital capacity.

This behemoth represents a leap forward in India’s space capabilities enabling large-scale satellite launches, servicing future geostationary or lunar missions, and facilitating space station modules. It reflects ISRO’s broader push toward next-generation heavy-lift vehicles necessary for deeper space and human-rated missions.

If realized, this rocket could elevate India’s presence among global heavy-lift capabilities, empowering the nation to undertake high-stakes space missions with greater autonomy and reach. Overall, it's a bold stride toward redefining India’s space trajectory.
