经过5月21日甘地遇刺身亡后的几个月政治动荡,印度政府批准1991～1992年3月的空间预算增加30％,总额为50.9亿卢比(1.974亿美元),而1990年为39亿卢比。空间预算的增加,使印度政府的预算赤字更扩大了。增加部分的46％用于1992年投入使用的极轨卫星运载火箭,24％花在研制印度通信卫星上。虽然空间预算还需经国会审议批准,但运载火箭和卫星计划不会有变化。 After months of political turmoil months after the assassination of Gandhi on May 21, the Indian government approved a 30% increase in the space budget for the period from March 1991 to March 1992, amounting to 590 million rupees (197.4 million U.S. dollars), compared with 39 billion rupees in 1990 . The increase in space budget has widened the budget deficit of the Indian government. An increase of 46% is for the polar-orbiting satellite launched in 1992 and 24% for the development of India’s communications satellites. Although the space budget needs to be reviewed and approved by the Diet, there will be no change in the launch vehicle and satellite programs.
