Development and operationalisation of the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) has enabled the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) end-to-end capability from launch to application in remote sensing satellites from the year 1997. Even as the PSLV was getting developed, its potential to provide launch services to international customers after meeting the internal demand was recognized. A unique method of carrying two microsatellites in every launch was worked out. Four piggyback payloads were flown in the last two flights of PSLV. The main payload has been flown with a standard interface. Having deployed through PSLV five primary satellites and four piggyback satellites, PSLV can carry a combination of satellites of different masses including the use of a dual launch adapter. With the successful flight of the Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV) in its very first attempt, soon this will also be available on a commercial basis. Thus, ISRO has the capability to offer commercial launch opportunity through Antrix Corporation Limited, the commercial wing of the Department of Space from 10 kg to 1300 kg in SSO or 1000-2000 kg in to GTO or into any other LEO or MEO. This paper provides a brief account of the evolution of Indian Launch Services over the years and the future potential.
