V Narayanan assumes charge as new ISRO chief, succeeding S Somanath
BENGALURU: V Narayanan has assumed charge as the chairman of ISRO, replacing S Somanath, the Space Agency said. In a statement, the ISRO said, Dr V Narayanan, Distinguished Scientist (Apex Grade), assumed the charge of Secretary, Department of Space, Chairman, Space Commission and Chairman, ISRO on the afternoon of January 13, 2025. Prior to this, Narayanan served as the Director of ISRO's Liquid Propulsion Systems Centre (LPSC), a key facility responsible for the development of propulsion systems for launch vehicles and spacecraft. He also played a pivotal role as the Chairman of the National Level Human Rated Certification Board (HRCB) for the Gaganyaan programme, India's ambitious human spaceflight mission. A veteran scientist, Narayanan joined ISRO in 1984 and has contributed significantly to India's space missions over the decades. He became the Director of LPSC in January 2018, cementing his reputation as a leader in rocket and spacecraft propulsion technologies. Narayanan hails from a humble background and is an alumnus of IIT Kharagpur, where he completed his M. Tech in Cryogenic Engineering and PhD in Aerospace Engineering. Awarded the Silver Medal for securing the first rank in his M. Tech programme, he has also received the Distinguished Alumni Award in 2018 and the Life Fellowship Award in 2023 from IIT Kharagpur. Before joining ISRO, Narayanan worked for a brief period at TI Diamond Chain Ltd., Madras Rubber Factory, and Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) at Trichy and Ranipet. Over his 40-year tenure at ISRO, including seven years as Director of the Liquid Propulsion Systems Centre (LPSC), he has made groundbreaking contributions to India's space programme. When India was denied the cryogenic technology for GSLV Mk-ll vehicle, he designed the engine systems, developed necessary software tools, contributed for establishing the necessary infrastructure and test facilities, testing and qualification and completing the development of Cryogenic Upper Stage (CUS) and making it operational, ISRO said. The boy who dreamt of stars to chairman of India's space dreams: V Narayanan's story of perseverance As project director of the C25 cryogenic project for the LVM3 vehicle, he led the development of the C25 cryogenic stage powered by a 20-tonne thrust engine, which was crucial for the successful maiden launch of LVM3. His M.Tech thesis and PhD work were instrumental in the development of these systems, making India one of only six countries with indigenous cryogenic technology. Narayanan played a vital role in India's lunar missions. For Chandryaan-2 and 3, he led the development of the L110 Liquid Stage, the C25 Cryogenic Stage, and propulsion systems that enabled the spacecraft to reach the Moon's orbit and achieve a soft landing. For the PSLV C57/Aditya L1 mission, he oversaw the realisation of the second and fourth stages, control power plants, and the propulsion system that helped position the spacecraft in a halo orbit at L1, making India the fourth country to successfully study the Sun. Narayanan has been instrumental in the Gaganyaan programme, contributing to the human-rating of the LVM3 vehicle and the development of various systems, including cryogenic stages, life support systems, and propulsion systems for the crew and service modules. He also chaired the Gaganyaan Certification Board, overseeing the certification process for multiple systems. Under his leadership, ISRO has advanced the development of next-generation propulsion systems, including a 200-tonne thrust LOX-Kerosene semi-cryogenic rocket system, a 110-tonne thrust LOX-Methane engine, and electric and green propulsion systems for spacecraft. He has also guided the propulsion systems for upcoming missions such as the Venus Orbiter, Chandrayaan-4, and the Bharatiya Antariksha Station (BAS). He is a Fellow of the Indian National Academy of Engineering, Aeronautical Society of India, Astronautical Society of India, and other esteemed organizations.

The other alliance partners of the MVA have expressed surprise over the Uddhav Thackeray-led partys decision, but none of them was willing to convince it to reconsider its decision. NCP (SP) leader Jitendra Awhad said it was a decision taken in haste and it will damage the Opposition parties. The relations among the MVA partners were strained after the Lok Sabha election due to a number of reasons, including Congress and NCP(SP)s refusal to declare Uddhav Thackeray as the chief ministerial candidate before the Assembly elections. Both the parties insisted that the chief minister will be decided after the results and the party winning the highest number of seats will get the post. After the MVAs crushing defeat in the Assembly polls, the tensions in the alliance escalated with all parties blaming each other for the defeat. Soon after the Assembly election results, in which the MVA won only 47 out of 288 seats, the Uddhav Thackeray-led party was mulling over going it alone in the local body elections and returning to its radical Hindutva agenda. Uddhav Thackeray has held a series of meetings with his partys leaders and office bearers to get ground level feedback from them. Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut said that his party has decided to contest all municipal corporations in the state, including Mumbai and Nagpur, on its own. He confirmed that Mr. Thackeray had approved the decision. In an alliance, workers of individual parties dont get opportunities and it hampers organisational growth, Raut told reporters in Nagpur. We will contest polls to Mumbai, Thane, Nagpur and other municipal corporations, zilla parishads and panchayats on our strength, Raut said. The Rajya Sabha MP blamed the Congress for the lack of coordination in MVA. He also claimed that the INDIA bloc didnt hold a single meeting after the Lok Sabha election results and as the largest party, it was Congresss responsibility to convene a meeting. Another Shiv Sena (UBT) leader and Lok Sabha MP Arvind Sawant claimed that his party would have won far more seats in the Assembly election had they contested it separately. The Uddhav Thackeray-led party won only 20 Assembly seats. We want to assess our strength by contesting local body elections on our own. Municipal elections provide us a chance to provide the opportunity to our cadre. After the Assembly results, many of our leaders were of the opinion that we would have won far more than 20 seats had we contested the election alone, Sawant said. Expressing regret over Shiv Sena (UBT)s decision to go solo, Sharad Pawar-led NCP(SP) leader Jitendra Awhad said the MVA should have continued in order to avoid the split in the oppositions votes. If they wish to go alone, who are we to stop them? We cannot take along anyone forcibly. We need to stay together after the assembly poll defeat. I dont think it is the right decision. All three parties will be adversely affected by this, he said. Congress leader Vijay Wadettiwar said that they will speak to Mr. Thackeray before coming to a conclusion. Raut is a big leader of his party. What he said must be his partys official stand. But we will still talk to Mr. Thackeray and try to convince him to remain in the alliance. If he remains firm on his stand, we are also free to choose our own path, the Congress leader said.
