I thought this was an exaggeration. I thought ISRO's plan for the 25ton space station would be an Indian space station. Like the Chinese & Russian space stations, the Indian space station would have very little if any foreign participation.

ISRO just put out the revised plan for the space station:

The revised model is essentially twice the weight of the original (25 tons vs 52 tons). It also has twice the crew capacity (3 vs 6). There will also be a Cupola module.

With the ISS going down by 2030s, it is hard to imagine this will not draw foreign attention & participation.

The Gaganyaan capsules are getting ISS standard docking ports. The space station will probably have the same.

All this assuming we can get the NGLV operational in time.

So, all the modules of the space station will be launched on LVM3 rocket. First 2 modules will be launched on the current version of the rocket & the rest 3 on the upcoming upgraded version of the LVM3 rocket.

These is so much that depends on this rocket:
