Yes. GSLV Mk III first stage is made up of two S200 solid boosters, with 200 ton propellant in each. S200 is the third largest solid boosters in the world (after Shuttle SRB, and P230 of Ariane-5).

If the figures at http://www.globalsecurity.org/space/systems/t4-config-5.htm are correct, the Titan IVB "SRM upgrade" boosters were bigger too (over 300 tonnes of propellant)
