Explanation:

When Hyderabad-based Skyroot Aerospace successfully test-fired Dhawan-1 last month, it became the country’s first privately developed, fully cryogenic rocket engine running on two high-performance rocket propellants — liquid natural gas (LNG) and liquid oxygen (LoX).

The engine was developed using 3D printing with a superalloy.
That has set the firm on a higher trajectory with an ambitious plan to launch the first private space launch vehicle using cryogenic engine Vikram-2 into orbit in two years.
Before that, the two co-founders — C. Pawan Kumar (IIT-Kharagpur, 2012 batch) and Naga Bharath D. (IIT-Madras, 2012 batch) — plan to put their first launch vehicle, 20-metre Vikram-1, based on solid propulsion engine, in space.
This was after successfully designing and developing the solid propulsion rocket engine, the first private firm in the country to do so.
The firm has already won a national award for start-ups in space research and had an online interaction with Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Hence both statements are correct.
