In its next mission, PSLV-C46 will launch RISAT-2B in May 2019.
If the mass of the RISAT-2BR1 is similar to that of RISAT-2 (300 kg) then there should be some co-passenger payloads on this mission. If so i wonder what they are?

Isro chairman K Sivan told TOI, “We are targeting to launch 33 missions, including satellites and rockets, this year. In the middle of May, PSLV-C46 rocket will launch Risat-2B...
This article says that this mission is RISAT 2BR1, not RISAT 2B.https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/after-pslv-c45-success-isro-sets-focus-on-next-pslv-for-risat-launch/articleshow/68753149.cmsQuoteVikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC) director S Somanath said, "Tests are on for the PSLV-C46 mission in May for launch of RISAT 2BR1, a Radar Imaging Satellite for reconnaissance and strategic surveillance.""

The PSLV rocket is expected to fly on May 22 carrying RISAT 2BR1
Do we know PSLV version for C46 yet.
An ISRO document of April 11 says it is RISAT-2B:https://www.isro.gov.in/sites/default/files/monthly_summary_for_march_2019.pdf
