On Thursday, former Isro chief G Madhavan Nair in Thiruvananthapuram said Chandrayaan 3's success will further boost India's international commercial contracts as there will be acceptance of its technical competence and launch systems.
Nair said the success of Chandrayaan-3 is the first stepping stone to begin India's planetary explorations.
"We have really broken the ice and made a good beginning," he told PTI.
The total cost of Chandrayaan-3, according to Isro, is Rs 615 crore, which is almost equivalent to a Hindi cinema's production budget.
