At a press conference held in conjunction with the "Engineers Conclave 2022" at the Liquid Propulsion Systems Centre (LPSC) at Valiyamala.

Semi-cryogenic technology, which is effective and affordable, will be used in this rocket. The new rocket might possibly be "reusable." "The payload of a reusable rocket will be less than that of an expendable one. The payload will be approximately five tonne if it is reusable and up to ten tonne if it is expendable. The payload characteristics were determined following a study of the demands of the present market.
