The correct answer is

It is designed for on-demand, low-cost launches

ISRO built the SSLV to offer quick-turnaround, low-cost launches for small satellites weighing up to 500 kg into low earth orbit. Unlike the larger PSLV and GSLV, which handle heavier payloads and take longer to assemble, the SSLV can be integrated and launched within days, making it suited for on-demand commercial missions.
