Skyroot Aerospace, a startup from Hyderabad, is gearing up for India's first-ever private rocket launch with Vikram-1 between July 12 and August 4, 2026.
If all goes well, they will attempt to place a launch vehicle into orbit, a big step for India's space tech scene and for Skyroot's plans to go commercial.
