I'm not doubting whether ISRO will reach the weight range or not. It is how quickly they can reach in par with falcon 9.

As the payload doubles from 4000KG to 8000KG (to be in par with Falcon 9 ), You need to add more fuel and which increases the cost and total weightage of the rocket.

This additional weightage on the rocket will hamper the margins.

I'm not saying anything negative here and they have lot of work cut out for them because of re-usability of Falcon 9.

Overall, this is very good for us as competition drives the cost down and more and more services at lower cost.

Good positive start.
