"Another satellite Gsat-20, which is five times more powerful than the one that will be launched from French Guiana, is based on a new technology that reduces its weight to just 3.5 tonnes. This satellite will be launched by our 'Baahubali' GSLV Mk III," Misra said.

ISRO chairman K Sivan said on Friday that GSAT-20 is also expected to provide inflight internet connectivity also. “The launch of GSAT-20 will complete Government of India’s ‘Digital India’ programme.

Given low GSLV Mk-3 launch frequency i think it is unlikely this will be launched on Mk-3 this year. There are already two Mk-3 launches planned this year. My bet is that this will be launched sometime in 2020 onboard Araine-5.

Or, would D3 be for the first 5000 to 6000 kg payload to GTO?

<snip>What about GSAT-20? Will it be launched this year? And if so, would it be with a GSLV-MKIII rocket?

Interesting. But is there any word from sources as to when GSAT-20 would be launched ? Will it happen in 2021 ?
