Lift-off for Infinity 🚀 — A New Chapter for Indian Space

Skyroot Aerospace has officially launched its new era. On 27 November 2025, Narendra Modi virtually inaugurated the startup’s sprawling 200,000 sq ft facility — now christened Infinity Campus — and unveiled its first orbital-class rocket, Vikram-I.

🚀 What is Vikram-I

  • Vikram-I is a four-stage orbital-class launch vehicle, designed to carry small satellites into Low Earth Orbit (LEO).
  • With a lightweight carbon-fibre structure and 3D-printed hypergolic engines, the rocket emphasises rapid, cost-efficient, and flexible satellite deployment

  • According to Skyroot, the new facility has capacity to manufacture one orbital rocket every month — a production scale that could meet growing satellite-launch demand.

In their celebratory tweet, Skyroot wrote:

“Lift-off for Infinity 🚀 The Honourable Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi has given wings to our dreams… unveiling our flight-ready Vikram-1 orbital launch vehicle. This moment brings both inspiration and responsibility as we build a future of infinite possibilities.”

🇮🇳 Why This Matters for India

  • This marks the first privately developed orbital rocket in India, showing how private enterprise is joining the space race alongside the national agency.
  • Government reforms opening the space sector to private companies have started to pay off. During the event, PM Modi highlighted that today’s youth and innovators — not just traditional institutions — are driving India’s space ambitions.
  • The Infinity Campus and Vikram-I together position India to become a serious player in the global small-satellite launch market — potentially creating jobs, building infrastructure, and attracting global customers.

What’s Next

Skyroot plans the maiden launch of Vikram-I in the coming months, targeting early 2026. If successful, it could open the door for frequent, on-demand satellite launches — not just for India, but for international clients too. 

This isn’t just about rockets — it’s about making space more accessible, faster, and affordable. For many young engineers and entrepreneurs across India, this moment can be an inspiring signal: that with vision, skill, and support, even the sky is no longer the limit.
