Hyderabad: India marked another major achievement in its space programme on Tuesday with the successful launch of LVM3-M6, further underlining the country’s growing expertise in heavy-lift launch vehicle technology and complex mission execution.
The mission once again showcased the reliability and operational maturity of the LVM3, India’s flagship heavy-lift launch vehicle, reflecting years of sustained research, testing and collaboration between the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and domestic industry partners.
Among the key private sector contributors to the mission was Ananth Technologies Pvt. Ltd. (ATL), a long-standing partner of the Indian space programme. The Hyderabad-headquartered company supplied several critical flight hardware and avionics systems that are integral to launch vehicle performance and mission success.
According to ATL, its contribution to the LVM3 programme includes power modules, data acquisition units, command and control electronics, sensor interface units, and other precision subsystems. These components were manufactured and tested at the company’s advanced facilities, in line with India’s push towards indigenous capability under the Aatmanirbhar Bharat initiative.
Over the last three decades, Ananth Technologies has played a significant role in supporting ISRO missions across launch vehicles, satellites and ground systems. The company has contributed to more than 107 satellite missions and 88 launch vehicle missions, including complex and human-rated programmes.
Commenting on the successful launch, Dr. Subbarao Pavuluri, Chairman of Ananth Technologies Pvt. Ltd., said the LVM3-M6 mission was a proud moment for the entire Indian space ecosystem and reaffirmed the growing role of Indian industry in building world-class launch capabilities.
Ananth Technologies operates manufacturing and testing facilities in Thiruvananthapuram for launch vehicle subsystems and in Bengaluru for satellite assembly, integration and testing. The LVM3-M6 success further highlights the expanding depth of India’s public–private partnership model in space technology.
