...

Will GSAT-22 also be GSAT-N3?

According to this presentation, it doesn't look like that.
https://www.nrsc.gov.in/sites/default/files/pdf/ebooks/UIM-2024/4_UIM_2024.pdf

I believe GSAT-22 is a Ku-band satellite. GSAT-N3 is supposed to be an S-band satellite.
https://www.nsilindia.co.in/sites/default/files/u1/Annual%20Report-2022-23%20-%20English.pdf

A long time ago GSAT-21 was announced as an S-band satellite. I don't know if that's still correct.

I haven't found anything about whether the old GSAT-21 project is still alive.
The S-band GSAT-N3 might be GSAT-32. But this is the wrong thread.

The Cabinet's approval of ₹22,750 crore ($2.7 billion) in new funding for space activities signals a bold leap toward India’s ambitious space aspirations. This major investment underlines the nation's commitment to becoming a significant player in the global space race.🚀

We are building a space station with Bharatiya Antariksh Station, landing and retrieving lunar samples with Chandrayaan-4, expanding our interplanetary exploration to Venus, and developing the Next-Generation Launch Vehicle (NGLV) that can land an Indian on the moon 🛰️ 🌓🪐

The New Space Age will see increasing contribution from India through collaboration between Government of India, @isro, and the burgeoning private sector. 

The most exciting times for the Indian space sector! 🚀🇮🇳

All ISRO Rockets: retired, operational and under development.

I think this is helpful (at least for people like me who is less familiar with ISRO).

All remaining flights of the GSLV rocket are now fully booked & #ISRO is no longer offering launch contracts for GSLV! 🚫

Within the next decade, both PSLV & GSLV are going to retire, after which India's launch demands are to be met by SSLV, LVM3, NGLV & private launchers. 🚀
