The earth observation satellite would provide real-time images of the country and also be able to quickly monitor natural disasters.
The rocket lifted off with Brazil's Amazonia-1 as primary satellite and 18 co-passenger payloads.
India's Polar rocket PSLV C-51 carrying Amazonia-1 of Brazil and 18 other satellites blasted off from this spaceport on Sunday, in the first mission of the year for ISRO.
ISRO's trusted polar satellite launch vehicle - PSLV-C50 - injected the satellite around 20 minutes after the lift-off from the second launch pad at the spaceport of Sriharikota.
The launch was earlier tentatively scheduled at 17:43 hours on Thursday, subject to weather conditions, from the second launch pad of Satish Dhawan Space Centre at Sriharikota in Andhra Pradesh.
