The Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) has delivered the heaviest semi-cryogenic propellant tank (SC120- LOX) ever fabricated to the Indian Space Research Organization (Isro).
The tank will be used in future missions by the Mk-III launch vehicle.

For the past five decades, HAL has collaborated with Isro as a strategic and dependable partner for India's prestigious space programmes.
