This year too will be great for ISRO if the crew module and GSLV Mk3 and MOM succeed.

Too small...............we need a capability of at least 4500---5000 kg in geo....................so that we can launch our own heavier communication satellites based on 1-4k bus series.

So minimum requirement is gslv mk3

It hasen't been tested fully...........even ce 7.5 needs to be successful 3-4 times continuously to be deemed a real success

Thats why I said 2016-2017 .Don't agree about the bold part though.

Really??!!
To be considered reliable a launch vehicle has to be successful multiple times,,whats so difficult to grasp here?

Check how many times pslv was tested before it was declared operational.other systems on gslv are flight proven anyway

There is a difference between terms operational and reliable
I used the word reliable here

 

[gslv mk3]

There is a difference between terms operational and reliable

operational=proven as per ISRO

No its not,,,for human space flight,it needs to be reliable.
For satellites its fine though

Let the government approve $1 billion budget for HSP.Anyway we would use gslv mk3 for that.
