ISRO's PSLV-C62 mission failure on January 12 resulted in the loss of 16 satellites, significantly impacting Hyderabad start-ups such as Dhruva Space, TakeMe2Space, and Eon Space Labs. The failure delays critical projects, including Eon Space Lab's MIRA payload and Dhruva Space's previously successful missions, raising concerns about the reliability of future PSLV launches. Start-ups are now calling for a rapid recovery and alternative launch options.
