PM Modi to Launch Skyroot’s Multi-Launch Vehicle Facility
On 27 November 2025, Narendra Modi will be virtually inaugurating Skyroot Aerospace's new Infinity Campus, a state-of-the-art 200,000-square-foot in-Hyderabad facility that will be used to design, integrate, and test/manufacture end-to-end rockets. The centre expects to manufacture a single orbital-scale launch vehicle per month, which will significantly enhance the capacity of the Indian space market. Together with the university opening, PM Modi will introduce the first orbital rocket of Skyroot Vikram, 1 a milestone move towards the Indian goal of space exploration that is powered by the private sector and provides commercial satellite launch capability.
Highlights of Skyroot Multi-Launch Vehicle
-
The new plant of Skyroot is Infinity Campus, which is approximately 200,000 square feet with an end-to-end charm to design, assemble, test, and check various launch vehicles.
-
The facility can construct one orbital-type-rocket in each month, which underscores speed in manufacturing launch vehicles.
-
Their orbital class rocket Vikram-I, to be launched during the inauguration, is a multistage launcher with the capability of launching payloads to orbit.
-
Vikram -I is constructed of an all-carbon-fibre, with a 3D-printed liquid engine, which makes the spacecraft light, sophisticated, and ideally suited to launching small satellites.
-
The design of the rocket allows the launch of dedicated or rideshare satellites, with flexibility on the number of small satellites to launch per mission.
-
Skyroot has a roadmap of future launch vehicles (e.g., Vikram-II) with bigger payload capacities – in order to cover all forms of satellite missions and orbital needs.
Conclusion
PM Modi launched the Skyroot Infinity Campus, an aberrant move in the Indian space industry. Having modern-day facilities and the Vikram-I rocket, the programme will enhance local production of rockets, commercial satellite launches, and innovations. The move solidifies the Indian leadership in space technology and gives importance to the increased participation of private enterprises in the national space missions.
