Union Minister of State for Science and Technology Jitendra Singh on Saturday said that the anomaly in the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) has been resolved.

“The report has come out and the anomaly has been detected. However we cannot share that (reason for the anomaly) on a public platform. But experts are working on it, which has been resolved and very soon we will be back on the track,” Dr. Singh said replying to a query by The Hindu.

ISRO Chairman V. Narayanan said that ISRO’s next launch, which would be the first one since the PSLV failure in January, would take place next month.

“We are building the rocket and may be within a month we will launch. The first launch will be a Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV) mission and subsequently we will launch the PSLV,” Mr. Narayanan told The Hindu.

What does he mean by public platform here? Is it Media like The Hindu or Public domain?

I am guessing because of this:
Dr. Singh said on the sidelines of the Research, Industry, Start-up and Entrepreneurship (RISE) Conclave 2026 in Bengaluru, that the national level expert committee constituted to review the reason for anomaly in PSLV Vehicle has submitted its report and the anomaly has been detected.

"The report has come out and the anomaly has been detected. However we cannot share that (reason for the anomaly) on a public platform."
Jitendra is no leader. He claims credit for successes and vanishes when failures occur. The old ISRO had the courage to publish its failure reports. I foresee the proud legacy of ISRO continue to tarnish under his leadership while he hides behind natsec. Fortunately, India's private space sector stands ready to take the best from ISRO and take the lead.

My vote of no confidence.

Your confidence doesnt matter. ISRO is decades ahead of the private sector and the leadership of a single minister is not enough to bridge that gap.

First let the private sector reach the level of the 33 year old PSLV then we shall see.

Not for long, considering its talent is leaving the organisation to found/join a startup, which is actually a good thing in the long run.
ISRO has 1000s of people but because 100 ppl or so have left, we will have private sector surpass ISRO soon?

Idt thats how aerospace and rocket science works. As I said, let's wait and see how long private sector takes to each even the level of PSLV. They haven't even launched SSLV type rocket yet. Forget about LVM3 and GSLV Mk1 type.
