At the meeting of the International Astronautical Congress (IAC) in Hyderabad, India, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has announced that the nation possesses the technological capacity necessary to send a spacecraft to Mars. The next step, as far as what was mentioned, is to get a scientific proposal for the goals of such a mission. India will be able to send a Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV) to transport a 500-kg craft that would orbit Mars. The announcement was made on September 27 by the ISRO's chairman, G. Madhavan Nair.
