Guwahati: The estimated budget of the launch of Chandrayaan-3 is Rs 615 crores and is declared as one of the most cost effective space missions as compared to its predecessors.
As a follow-up to the failed Chandrayaan-2 mission, the Chandrayaan-3 was first announced in 2019 and was expected to launch in 2021. However, the COVID-19 pandemic caused significant delays and the launch eventually took place today on July 14.
Of that, the lander, rover and propulsion module cost Rs 250 crore and the launch services cost around Rs 365 crore.
The figure provided by Sivan was given before the pandemic hit and before the entire mission was delayed by years.
