We majorly lack in powerful rockets, else we would have directly inserted CY3 into the lunar orbit, no need to sling-shot. Hopefully after the development of NGLV, this issue will be resolved. But we also need to keep in mind is that space exploration is not our priority as of now. Once we have a decent PCI(above 10K) we can dream of fully exploring the space. Even today we have very low launch rate. For now its mostly pride mission to inspire newer gen of Indians to get into space sectors.
We'll have our heavy lift and super heavy lift launch vehicles when ISRO's newest staged-combustion 2MN, SCE-200 engine eventually is operationalised.
ISRO started testing it last month.
