The contract was exchanged this week between HAL and NSIL during the inaugural session of the seventh Bengaluru Space Expo 2022. Over the years, ISRO's PSLV has performed more than 52 successful flights, and the vehicle has attained operational status.

As part of its mandate NSIL, had invited Expression of Interest (EoI) in August 2019 for realization of five PSLV-XL Launch Vehicles by Indian industry. Based on competitive bidding, the HAL-led consortium emerged as the successful bidder.
