I believe the previous largest launch mass by LVM3 was oneweb (to LEO) at 5.8 tons?

Meanwhile, ISRO on Friday unveiled an ambitious roadmap for India’s space programme, announcing plans for a Bharatiya Antriksh Station (BAS) by 2035, a Moon sample return mission by 2040, and a series of pathbreaking missions over the next two decades.

Speaking on National Space Day earlier today, ISRO chairman V Narayanan said: “Based on the Prime Minister’s vision, we are going to have Chandrayaan-4 and a Venus Orbiter Mission. By 2028, we will launch the first module of BAS, which will be fully operational by 2035.” He added that work on a Next Generation Launcher (NGL) has also been approved. “By 2040, India will not only land on the Moon but also bring samples back safely. At that point, our space programme will be at par with any leading space agency in the world.”
