All the best to ISRO. I have been waiting for such news for a very long time.Our funding is really meager given the landmark achievements that these Govt PSU's have acieved.Even I think that people who blame DRDO actually should take a look at the kind of funds they are provided with.

they will test engine for may times and sending dummy payload will be costly too, as even then we will have to bear the cost of launcher
