India's space agency ISRO has emerged as a reliable and affordable commercial satellite launcher, placing nearly 390 foreign satellites into orbit since 2014, with the United States being the largest client. Analysts credit ISRO's success to its innovative, precise, and cost-effective PSLV rocket, which boasts a high success rate and has set records for multi-satellite launches. This reputation for dependability and lower pricing compared to competitors like SpaceX and Ariane 5 attracts numerous international customers.
