Modi said India's tireless scientific efforts will continue in order to develop better understanding of the Universe for the welfare of entire humanity.

In a post on X, Modi said, "After the success of Chandrayaan-3, India continues its space journey."

"Congratulations to our scientists and engineers at @isro for the successful launch of India’s first Solar Mission, Aditya -L1," he said.

"Our tireless scientific efforts will continue in order to develop a better understanding of the Universe for the welfare of the entire humanity," he added.

In another success for Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), India successfully launched its maiden solar mission Aditya L-1 from Sriharikota on Saturday.

Aditya-L1 has been launched from Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh, days after India's lunar mission, Chandrayaan-3, successfully landed on the Moon.
