Project Surya/Next Generation Launch Vehicles (NGLV)

Top line of the 3rd SS reads 150 Tons LEO in Single Launch / Multiple Launches ( leave aside the multiple launches ) whereas Vision 2040 with the icon of the NGLV reads 70 tons. Why the discrepancy ?
150t is for Single Launch Architecture and for moon base, they are currently pursuing dual launch architecture ( this is confirmed)
Dual launch is cheaper and requires less development time
 
Here's what we have learnt about NGLV and related variants from this recent presentation

Baseline NGLV
20 ton to LEO
9 ton to GTO

NGLV- H (NGLV with strap on solid boosters)
30 ton to LEO
12 ton to GTO

(I just wish ISRO use a bigger Solid booster, or increase the number of boosters to 4 and increase the LEO payload capacity to 35 tons, to allow us a comfortable Lunar flyby)


proposed NGLV-SH capable of delivering 70 tons to LEO

ISRO has also proposed a 150 ton to LEO capable super heavy Launch Vehicle for a future lunar transit capability

NGLV will be integrated horizontally and use a titable UT during launch (similar to what Space X uses)

more number of boosters like 4 means they can't be integrated horizontally and erected. Hence only 2 are possible side by side.
