Yes. All GSLV vehicles have a cryogenic upper stage.

In the table "GSLV-D5 at a glance" it says 75 kN but in text body (Page 5) it says 73.55 kN.
Edit: First and second stage performance is different though.

Why do they close down the payload fairing so early ? Doesn't this impact the satellite as it has to be fueled much before launch ?

Is the 4m dia payload fairing confirmed for this flight? Does the payload require it?
Answering my own question, apparently 3.4m payload fairing would be used as in previous flight

Im surprised nobody has realised that the strapons for this launch have been upgraded. Prior to this mission they used to produce 680kn now they produce 760kn, the second stage has also been increased from 720kn to 800kn.
