State leader Narendra Modi's administration is additionally hoping to prod interest in confidential space dispatches and related satellite-based organizations.
India maintains that its confidential space organizations should build their portion of the worldwide send off market by fivefold inside the following ten years.
Modi said when the moon mission sent off that ISRO was stating "another part in India's space odyssey" and raising "the fantasies and desires of each and every Indian."
