The SSLV, developed by the Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro), is a low-cost vehicle capable of deploying satellites of up to 500 kg into low-Earth orbit, or LEO – the most sought-after segment of the satellite launch market.

After its first successful launch in 2023, the government moved to transfer the vehicle's production and technology to private industry as part of a broader push to expand India's commercial space sector.
