This fairing, which transports satellites into orbit, is constructed using carbon composites and stands at 10.75 meters tall.

LMW, comprising metallics and composites divisions, fabricated the payload fairing. Sanjay Jayavarthanavelu, the Chairman and Managing Director of LMW, presented the hardware documents to ISRO Chairman S. Somanath. The unveiling of the payload fairing occurred virtually during the handover ceremony.

Previously, in February, LMW-ATC delivered a crucial flight component, a “4-meter diameter hat stiffened composite equipment bay shroud,” for the impending Gaganyaan Mission. Moreover, the company participated in assembling, conducting structural tests, and performing non-destructive tests on composite tubular components for the Inter Tank Structure of the C 25 cryogenic upper stage, slated for the Chandrayaan-3 mission.
