Big respect to ISRO, but you read France's Arianespace backwards. They were more of an X/5 situation.

You are right... my head was looking for positive changes for some reason. What happened with france?

Their primary launcher, the Ariane 5, was scheduled to be retired and replaced with the Ariane 6, but there were delays in the project. It left them with an awkward transition phase where no new Ariane 5s were being built, but Ariane 6 wasn't ready yet, so all they could do was launch the last of the 5s.
