The larger conflict shaping up is India's attitude towards international law. Usually a country's treaties are the highest law in the land; that's the presumption of the other signatories, anyway. However, Indian courts have declared that they need not follow such treaties. In effect, they are saying that India can sign a treaty with another country or group of countries and ignore India's obligations when this seems desirable, yet nonetheless India have the right to expect other countries to obey treaties as Holy Writ.
Now the puzzling, even nonsensical Indian accusations of "American hypocrisy" become clear: India is trying to hide its own, indisputable record of hypocrisy. This appears to be the only explanation for India's stance on a point of consular perquisites beyond treaty requirements that involves the nation rather than a handful of individuals.
There you go. Apparently you see plenty of "fat bullies" at home and you dislike them. Now the unjustifiable slime-ing of America gives you a chance to displace (as psychologists put it) all that pent-up aggression on foreigners who in - contrast to your local bullies - won't take it out on you.
Therapeutic yes, but a poor basis for policy. Better is to realize these political and psychological frustrations in your society and work to solve them.
I just did a rough of the calculations. The GSLV may be a bit (~3%!) cheaper than the Falcon 9 for launching one satellite to GTO (though it's not at all clear if the GSLV-D5 price of Rs. 220 crore is just marginal cost or figures in development costs) but the Falcon Heavy is cheaper than the GSLV-D5 if two or more 3.5-tonne satellites are launched.
Either way, you're not talking like the Indian officials are boasting, of saving 50-70% of the launch costs.
Use SpaceX instead. As for the "payments" to foreign gov't agencies, this is probably still shared by foreign development aid; the first use of NASA spacecraft for India education & development goes back to at least 1975.

Um, no. You'll "master" it when you develop the ability to stop and restart the engine in space. It's a bit more tricky, take maybe a few more years of work, but important if you want to use the engine and high-energy upper stage to put payloads into temporary parking orbit, as NASA does for interplanetary and lunar missions. It also increases the margin of safety for manned missions.
Congrats, India. You are now fifty years behind the U.S., which developed the "Centaur" hydrogen-fueled upper stage in the mid-1960s.
Which newspaper do you read?
I noticed a fun comparison.
At Chinese defence forum, China first moon rover "Jade Rabbit" has 4 pages only.
Finally!!!! India joins the Cryogenic Club-GSLV D5 Successfully launched
At India defence forum, it is excited to 49 pages already!
Funny, enjoy!
It IS a fun comparison.
Shows the difference between a Democracy where people take pride in the govt. and its achievements and a communist one party dictatorship where the people are indifferent and far removed from the govt.
Thank you for pointing it out to us.
It's the culture difference.
Chinese (world wide, Mainland Chinese, Taiwan, Hongkongnese, Singaporean Chinese) talk less, do more;
Indian: simply contrary
What did really stop a country developing? Government and cultures.

Who says that?
Look at their Plane. The day the copy paste Plane flies first time, It is F 22 killer or Batter than Su 35 and so on. Only exaggeration and nothing else.
Go to Indian defence forum,it is not more than 3 pages.......I noticed a fun comparison.
