Next launch is PSLV C50 with "CMS 01" followed by first SSLV with "EOS 02" and GSLV F10 with "EOS 03".End of webcast.
He [K Sivan] said the first test-launch of Small Satellite Launch Vehicle (SSLV) or mini-PSLV and a technology demonstrator test of the reusable launch vehicle (RLV) will also happen next year.
Not sure, but maybe this is for the SSLV launch:
Also, FLP may not be occupied by SSLV as this rocket is on-demand and can be stacked up at the very end. I believe, they will use the new buildings developed as part of PIF project.

I believe, they will use the new buildings developed as part of PIF project.What is the PIF project?My assumption was that FLP needed substantial alterations to perform the first SSLV launch campaign, as well as extensive testing. I also assumed that this work would preclude other launches until after the first launch.What is the status of this work?
Multiple sources in ISRO said on Thursday SSLV-D1 is targeted to be launched towards the end of March or early April -- most likely in the first month of the financial year -- though no firm date has been set so far.
According to sources, GISAT-1 will be followed by the maiden flight of Small Satellite Launch Vehicle, ISRO's compact launcher, likely in April.
Did the static fire occur?
S85 (First stage motor) static test failed due to design issuesQuoteThe static test of first stage solid motor (SS1) of ISRO's Small Satellite Launch Vehicle (SSLV) -- a new-generation compact rocket -- was not successful, according to sources in ISRO.

The Indian Space Research Organisation is gearing up for its first developmental flight, a new-generation compact rocket which is scheduled to be launched in the fourth quarter of the year 2021. Hence, according to the officials, the Indian space agency is all set to test the solid-fuel motor of the small rocket which is under development.
The official also said the space agency is planning to fly the small rocket -- Small Satellite Launch Vehicle (SSLV) -- before the end of this year itself with an Indian earth observation satellite.
