Chandrayaan-4 gets ₹150cr boost in new budget

Technology Dec 11, 2025

India just set aside ₹150 crore for ISRO's upcoming Chandrayaan-4 mission in the 2025-26 budget.
Union Minister Jitendra Singh stated that no ISRO projects have been stopped or delayed due to lack of funds.
Chandrayaan-4 is aiming for a 2028 launch to bring back samples from the Moon, while other big missions like a Mars Lander (2030) and Venus explorer Shukrayaan-1 (2028) are also on the horizon.

What else is ISRO up to?

ISRO isn't slowing down—new launch vehicles are in development, and there's even a joint mission with NASA to the International Space Station.
The Gaganyaan project hopes to send Indian astronauts into space soon, showing how India's really stepping up its game in space exploration.
