As of now, no signals have been received from them, the statement said.
Efforts to establish contact will continue, the space organization said.
Chandrayaan-3 landed near the lunar south pole on August 23.
It is now the fourth nation to successfully make a lunar landing after the USA, Russia and China.
During this period, Pragyan explored the land site, tracking images back to Earth, while Vikram performed a set of scientific experiments including measuring the temperature of the top layer of the lunar regolith.
The Pragyan rover was put to sleep on September 2 when all the instruments were turned off.
