"PSLV (Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle) developed by ISRO is designed mainly to deliver the “earth-observation” or “remote-sensing” satellites to Sun-Synchronous circular polar orbits whereas GSLV is designed mainly to deliver the communication-satellites to the highly elliptical Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit (GTO) Statement 2 is wrong : The satellites in the geosynchronous orbits appear to remain permanently fixed in the same position in the sky. Statement 3 is wrong : GSLV-Mk III is capable of launching 4 ton class of satellites to GTO. It is a three-stage vehicle with two solid motor strap-ons (S200), a liquid propellant core stage (L110) and a cryogenic stage (C25)
