All GSLV launches have been conducted from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota.
Flight Launch date/time (UTC) Variant Launch Pad Payload Payload Mass Result Note(s)
D1 18 April 2001
10:13 Mk.I(a) First GSAT-1
1,540 kg Failure Developmental Flight, payload placed into lower than planned orbit, and did not have sufficient fuel to reach a usable orbit.[9]
D2 8 May 2003
11:28 Mk.I(a) First GSAT-2
1,825 kg Success Developmental Flight[10]
F01 20 September 2004
10:31 Mk.I(b) First EDUSAT
1,950 kg Success First operational flight[11]
F02 10 July 2006
12:08 Mk.I(b) Second INSAT-4C
2,168 kg Failure Both rocket and satellite had to be destroyed over the Bay of Bengal after the rocket's trajectory veered outside of permitted limits.
F04 2 September 2007
12:51 Mk.I(b) Second INSAT-4CR
2,160 kg.Partial failure Partial launch failure,[12] apogee lower and inclination higher than expected, due to carrier rocket underperformance.[13] Eventually the 2160 kg payload reached the designated geostationary transfer orbit.[14][15] There were reports that the mission life of the satellite had decreased by five years as the thrusters had to burn this much fuel to restore the satellite to its correct orbit. However, the ISRO later refuted this claim dismissing it as false.[16]
D3 15 April 2010
10:57 Mk.II Second GSAT-4
2,220 kg Failure First flight test of the ISRO designed and built Cryogenic Upper Stage. Failed to reach orbit due to malfunction of Fuel Booster Turbo Pump (FBTP) of the Cryogenic Upper Stage.[17]
F06 25 December 2010
10:34 Mk.I (c) Second GSAT-5P
2,130 kg Failure First flight of GSLV Mk.I (c) Destroyed by range safety officer after loss of control of liquid fuelled boosters.[18]

You indians cannot lift anything heavier than 2 MT in space! The success rate of launching is horrendous!
what's the point of bragging your space, rocket launching technology better than us?
Our Long March 2 series has successfully lifted payloads exceeding 2 MTs into Higher Orbits some 20 to 30 years ago!
