Wikipedia summary
Vikram-I is a four-stage orbital launch vehicle approximately 20 metres tall and 1.7 metres in diameter. The first three stages use solid propulsion, while the upper kick stage uses liquid propulsion for orbital insertion and adjustment manoeuvres.
The rocket incorporates carbon-composite airframes intended to reduce structural mass. Skyroot has also stated that the vehicle uses 3D-printed liquid engines and modular avionics systems.
