The image was acquired on January 15, three days after the launch of the satellite, and released on Tuesday on the website of the Bengaluru-headquartered Indian Space Research Organisation.
The successful mission came after a rare failure in August last year when the PSLV-C39 could not release the backup navigation satellite IRNSS-1H due to a technical snag.
"My heartiest congratulations to ISRO and its scientists on the successful launch of PSLV. This success in the New Year will bring benefits of the country's rapid strides in space technology to our citizens, farmers, fishermen", PM Modi tweeted.
India will launch 31 satellites, including the Earth observation spacecraft Cartosat on January 10, from its spaceport at Sriharikota in Andhra Pradesh.
ISRO is now planning to launch a remote sensing satellite of Cartosat-2 series along with 30 nano satellites of foreign countries by mid-December.
