The launch was successful and by 3:00 PM the Satellite reached it's intended waypoint to start its electric propulsion to reach its Geosynchronous orbit. Overall all systems are reported normal, no issues reported. This also becomes the first instance of ISRO using Electric Propulsion on its sattelite which is more efficient than chemical based propulsion.
