Godrej Enterprises Group’s Aerospace business has delivered the human-rated L110 Stage Vikas Engine to the Liquid Propulsion Systems Centre (LPSC) of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) for use in the Gaganyaan human spaceflight programme.

The L110 Stage Vikas Engine is part of ISRO’s LVM3 Gaganyaan Launch Vehicle, which is designed to transport Indian astronauts into space. The mission will involve a crew module that will return to Earth after completing its planned experimental objectives.

Maneck Behramkamdin, Executive Vice President and Business Head of the Aerospace business at Godrej Enterprises Group, said, “This is not just a milestone for Godrej Enterprises Group, but also a matter of immense national pride. Contributing to India’s first human spaceflight programme is both an honour and a responsibility that we carry with the highest commitment. This achievement reaffirms our long-standing partnership with ISRO and LPSC, and showcases our capability to deliver mission-critical technology that strengthens India’s leadership in space exploration.”

According to the company, it has collaborated with ISRO for more than four decades on various programmes, including missions such as Chandrayaan and NISAR, supplying propulsion systems and components for multiple projects.
