The IMD released the country's first AI-enabled block-level monsoon onset advance forecasting model on 13 May 2026, covering 3,196 blocks across 15 States and one Union Territory with a four-week lead time and a four-day error margin. Both statements are correct.
Q2With reference to Vikram-1, which recently reached orbit, consider the following statements: 1. It was developed by Skyroot Aerospace and became India's first privately developed orbital launch vehicle to reach orbit. 2. It was launched from Thumba and can carry a payload of up to 3,500 kilograms to low Earth orbit. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Vikram-1 was developed by Skyroot Aerospace and became India's first privately developed orbital launch vehicle to reach orbit, so statement 1 is correct. It was launched from Sriharikota (not Thumba) and can carry up to 350 kilograms (not 3,500 kilograms) to low Earth orbit, so statement 2 is incorrect. Hence only statement 1 is correct.
