This is just an election gimmick from india’s Megalomaniac PM Modi. Neither very important nor actually achieved during his tenure.

Wow. Could you expound on why having a tech that targets satellites in space is "not important" and is merely "an election gimmick"?
Once you technically solved the problem of sending satellites to orbit using a rocket - you already have the wherewithal to target them as well. ISRO achieved this eons ago. Apart from boasting rights - nobody can really use this for fear of reprimand from UN and world powers. The gist is - don't make space your arena of war - future generations will not pardon you!
I am sorry to inform you my friend that work on this project began before Modi became the PM. Please do not insult the hard work of our scientists to fulfill your political fantasies.
