NSIL is made for commercial purposes, means it will take up the responsibility ISRO had earlier, means more fast paced launched.

Hi Tri!

That is what it says on the tin, isn't it. However, like SPAM, I'd be cautious about accepting that premise at face value. I have at least one great source telling me that NSIL could turn these launches around so quickly because those LVM3's were available, not because of manufacturing speed. At the same time, apparently NSIL's launch processes are pretty efficient, because the company managed to still launch very quickly.

If they can match that with rapid manufacturing, then yes, it will outpace the ISRO's launch record.
