The first flight of gslv mk 2 with indigenous cryogenic engine failed in 2010 pushing all the indegenous gslv deadlines.

The deal involves the manufacturer outsourcing 50% of the total amount of the deal from India.

Which will be increased upto 5000 kg for GTO with further launches.
Apart from that the test for semi-cryogenic engine is also around the corner, probably first half of next year. If everything goes well, by 2018 we would have a launch vehicle capable of launching about 10000 kg in GTO.
But we...

I really hate pakistan's " twitterati " especially the Farhan Khan Virk and his kind. Man he is so dumb, and most pakistani people are either innocent or gullible to fall far his shit.
This is just big talk....I think right now the priority should be on Inland waterways and connecting NE to rest of India as well as Bangladesh,Myanmar etc through road, rail and waterways.
