I am in the process of collecting information. This is an 18 year old program and has been through several design cycles and test iterations. Failure seems to be due to loss of control and therefore I am trying out find out more about their actuator design and the gimbal system. The second stage cryogenic engine (RL-10) for Delta IV launch vehicles, on which I worked uses an electromechanical actuators.
Another theory is the failure of the cryogenic stage to ignite. ISRO is yet to put out a meaningful statement; it will take them a while to analyze the telemetry. Ignition system for the final stage is designed for multiple ignitions and is very robust.
Cryogenic engines have high Isp (450) and use low temperature materials (-250 degC) @ 45000 rpm. India has been buying Russian cryogenic engines for their geosynchronous launches; failure puts their GSLV launch vehicle at least three years behind (and not one year as they are claiming). Also the Chandrayaan-2 mission will be forced to use a non-Indian launch vehicle because it weighs at least 75% more than Chandrayaan-1 and cannot be launched using the PSLV.
I will write an article as soon I can deduct a possible meaningful conclusion.

Wa-Alaikumussalam,
Alhamdolillah, Everything is fine. It really has been decades since we talked last time.
I see you are Masha-Allah very active on this network. Its good to see pictures of Salman Qureshi and Quresh Diwan in your group photos. I Worked with Quresh Diwan on the same Nuclear Project WPPPS Unit 2 in Washington State in 1983 and visited his family too.
