According to early report, GSLV-MK2 was scheduled to be tested around 2004-2005. And GSLV-MK3 should be on duty in 2007. So GSLV-MK2 is at least 3 years delayed. I think GSLV-MK3 may come out in 2010.

Maybe neighter ISRO nor CNSA would admit, but the lunar exploration race between them had began. China's Chang'e-1 in in the lunar orbit now, and India's Chandrayaan-1 is on its way. China may win the first round. But China's Chang'e-2 is schedule to be launched 2012, and India's Chandrayaan-2 is aim at the year 2011, one year before China. So how CNSA respond to this challenge. Is it going to speed up, or keep on the pace and hope ISRO's Chandrayaan-2 would delay again ?
