^^^thanks a lot.Never knew they had planned a new vehicle whey they conceived the manned mission plan in 2006.Anyways ,building a LEO travelling Vehicle is not enough.We need a future beyond LEO CM too

Better get the current work done first.
That launch vehicle seems interesting. It looks like it's powered by a solid first stage and cryogenic 2nd stage.

The first stage is solid, the second using storable propellants, the third using cryogenic propellants and the fourth stage being the capsule using storable propellants.

We've always known that rockets are awesome for that whatever the way its being done, its showing results and India is on the map in 2014. India has some new doors that are being opened. There's a north American company that likes what your doing with you spacecraft program. They own some proprietary technology that might find its way into a joint venture along these lines. http://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=27265.0who knows if its talk or something will come of it, but I find it very interesting.

Look what i found
Nice pictures but will India start to fly crews into orbit before ISS is retired? India would then have to rely upon access to China's modular Tiangong orbital station: if the Chinese are interested, of course.
This video inspired me to come up with a conjectural spacecraft based on the flown vehicle and whatever concepts I can find online. Bringing it to the ISS seems only natural, so I fitted it with a docking mechanism and did some renders.
"We are working for critical technologies for human space programmes. Currently we are working on environmentally controlled chamber so that the chamber is habitable for human being for long period," ISRO Chairman A S Kirankumar said on a question if the space organisation is working for building capsule for human space programme. "We have make sure that various oxygen level and carbon dioxide level is conducive for human being for weeks together in the capsule. The methods of controlling the environment ensuring that whether inside the capsule is comfortable for astronauts, those experiments are going on," he said.
