According to the company mentioned that components such as the "middle segment and nozzle bucket flange" were manufactured at their facility in Powai. Additionally, components like the ground and flight umbilical plates originated from L&T's aerospace manufacturing facility in Coimbatore.

AT Ramchandani, Executive Vice President and Head of L&T Defence, expressed that the Indian industry now has opportunities in the space sector, and they intend to capitalise on their longstanding association with ISRO to play a more significant role in future space programs.

The company stated that all these subsystems were delivered before the scheduled deadline. L&T also mentioned their involvement in producing a range of hardware for various missions such as Chandrayaan-1 and 2, Gaganyaan, and Mangalyaan, all under the purview of ISRO.
