Revanth Reddy 'Telangana Poised to Become Global Aerospace Leader'

Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy flagged off the flight hardware of Skyroot Aerospace's Vikram-1 — India's first privately developed orbital rocket. 

The Chief Minister said the occasion marks a key milestone in Telangana's pursuit of becoming a global leader in the Aerospace sector. 

The flagging off ceremony marked the rocket’s formal departure to the launch site at Satish Dhawan Space Centre, Sriharikota. Skyroot is set to make India's first private orbital launch attempt in



coming months.

Industries Minister D Sridhar Babu was also present on the occasion. Congratulating the Skyroot team on the occasion, the Chief Minister said it is a matter of great pride that the rocket has been completely designed and developed in Hyderabad. "Skyroot has developed India’s first privately built orbital rocket to carry satellites into space. 

The company launched its first rocket in 2022, and reaching the stage of orbital launch in such a short time is a remarkable achievement."
