PSLV is capable of launching 1600 kg satellites in 620 km sun-synchronous polar orbit and 1050 kg satellite in geo-synchronous transfer orbit.PSLV is a 45 m long, four stage launch vechicle. It has solid and liquid propulsion systems alternately.
India's most prestigious satellites CHANDRAYAAN, MEGHA TROPIQUES are placed in orbit by PSLV only. ISRO has a record of launching satellites more economically than any other country and the main reason is PSLV itself.
