"Ramana: A reconfigured 3 stage Agni-V can place 700 Kg satellite in 400 km altitude orbit at 110 degree inclination"
Arunji, did'nt you say 550 kg to a 200 km orbit some pages back in this thread (with conservative assumptions)? Maybe we should be conservative about these estimates. There are some media reports that A-III uses maraging steel motor cases only and composite cases will be introduced only with A-V....

I guess I should specify the stage configuration when I report Agni-V's satellite capability. This one is for this confign.
