partial failure
Orbit: GTO
Serial number: D1
Developmental flight, payload placed into lower than planned orbit, and did not have sufficient fuel to reach a usable orbit. ISRO claims the launch to be successful. In a 2014 interview, ISRO Chairman K. Radhakrishnan attributed the failure to incorrect mixture ratio used in the cryogenic upper stage.
