ISRO should be to research on 3D printed engines,

Some components of cryogenic engines such as the exhaust unit of the gas generator are already 3D printed (Material is InconeI 718, WIPRO 3D is the partner, SLS process)

ISRO has come a long way, from a bicycle to a heavy duty truck.

Proud of you ISRO.

Most people do not know this, but ISRO operates directly under the Prime Ministers Office.

And under Modi, ISRO has been not only given a free hand but has been driven to become more and more ambitious.
