The space agency's website posted an edited version of the visuals of the launch and those from the onboard cameras.
The purpose of the satellite is to provide mobile communication applications in S-band in five spot beams and C-band in one beam during its 10-year lifespan.
The GSAT-6A satellite was successfully put into orbit around 17 minutes after the rocket's liftoff.
