Correct Answer: C — 1 and 2 only

IN-SPACe is the autonomous body created to promote and authorize private-sector participation in India's space ecosystem. Agnikul Cosmos is accepted for its milestone involving a 3D-printed rocket engine. Statement 3 is rejected because Skyroot Aerospace is not having developed liquid fuel for GSLV.
