This is a big achievement for India. Not just in space exploration point of view but the side effects of such projects are more interesting.
Dozens of major private companies focused on making this success making various spare parts including steel cranes by Tata steel, special alloys of Mishra Dhatu Nigam (The Alloy Company), wings by L&T Aero etc. etc. I know some people here and they were so proud and focused on "excellence" which I think is often missing in what we Indians normally do.
Space programs are important because of precision required. It created a discipline and desire for perfection not just for ISRO but for all their suppliers and vendors. Hope this habit spreads.
There are some very interesting, and arguably more challenging missions coming up including a Venus orbiter, manned space flight and a Martian lander. This should really help solidify the manufacturing space around this.
