Chandrayaan I delayed...Chandrayaan II approved
Press reports in the Times of India and the Indian Express have confirmed the announcement of the delay in the launch of Chandrayaan-I. There is no official press release on the point though, as visible from the main page of the ISRO website.
When I was in ISRO last year, I heard a few people say that Chandrayaan was a really on a very competitive schedule. If it were really that competitive a schedule, I would think a 3 month delay is not really that bad.
However, a related report states that the Space Commission and the Cabinet has cleared India's next lunar mission - Chandrayaan II. Good luck, guys!!
