ISRO has not shared any update so far because they have not made any communication with the Vikram lander and Pragyan rover due to their elongated sleep mode.

The Vikram lander and Pragyan rover were put in sleep mode with the hope that they could survive the lunar night and charge themselves during the sunrise.

However, things did not go as planned and the Chandrayaan-3 lander and rover are still in a deep sleep mode and have not woken up since.

ISRO has hopes that one day they will be able to recharge with the help of sunlight and they communicate with the space agency once they reach optimum conditions.
