The PSLV has four stages using solid and liquid propulsion systems alternately.
The setoff stage is one of the largest solid- burn rocket boosters in the world and carries 138 tonnes of Hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) outflow propellant with a diameter of 2.8 m.
The second stage employs the Vikas engine and carries 41.5 tonnes (40 tonnes till C-5 mission) of liquid propellant Unsymmetrical Di-Methyl Hydrazine (UDMH) as fuel and Nitrogen tetroxide (N2O4) as oxidizer.
The third stage uses 7 tonnes of HTPB-based solid propellant and produces a maximum thrust of 324 kN.. For roll engage it uses the RCS (Reaction Control System) of fourth stage.
The fourth and the terminal stage of PSLV has a twin engine configuration using liquid propellant. With a propellant loading of 2 tonnes (Mono-Methyl Hydrazine as fuel + commingle Oxides of Nitrogen as oxidiser.
