http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-40158889 mark III version of an Indian heavy lift rocket "The 640-tonne (580,598kg) rocket blasted off from a launching site off the Bay of Bengal in Sriharikota." & "The GSLV Mark III can carry a satellite weighting more than three tonnes."

Not sure what you mean by power to weight ratio. Rockets often have a trust to weight ratio, in this case at appro. 600 tonnes and 13,000kn that's a trust to weight ratio of about 20
