Senior ISRO official and VSSC Director Dr K Sivan told this to reporters on the sidelines of the 10th High Energy Materials Conference and Exhibition in Hyderabad this morning.

The high-thrust cryogenic engine (CE20) was successfully test fired at the ISRO Propulsion Complex (IPRC), Mahendragiri for launching three-tonne class payloads recently.

According to reports, Sivan said the GSLV will be Stage-tested in two months and go for launching in December.
