Honestly, NASA is way ahead then ISRO.
But the question is "Can ISRO beat NASA in coming years ?" The answer maybe Yes!
Budget of ISRO and NASA :
In 2017 NASA budget was 19.5 billion US$ and ISRO budget was 1.4 billion US$. NASA's budget is almost 18 times that of ISRO's budget.
ISRO is 4th Top space agency and it has gained this position in just few years of its bloom. Recently ISRO sent 104 satellites in a single rocket only with the budget of 15 million dollars and NASA admitted that it needed 100 million dollars to do the same.
On the other hand,
NASA has well established space agency which has completed many missions successfully . It has more achievements in human missions as well.
ISRO has been excellent in past few years but its developing and performing missions in very low budget compared to NASA.
Comparing ISRO to NASA would be comparing a normal restaurant to a 5 star restaurant .Both the restaurants are good and serve different kind of needs for different group of people. Both of them target different kinds of audience. Normal restaurant targets middle class people but 5star restaurant targets rich people.
Similarly ISRO is normal restaurant and NASA is 5-star restaurant. ISRO is walking and NASA is running on same road.
In future if INDIA has more developed budget and astronomy is high then there could be a comparison made between ISRO and NASA. But for now there is no competition between ISRO and NASA
