Isro chairman K Sivan told TOI, “The launch of four high-throughput satellites will provide the country broadband connectivity of over 100 gigabits per second (Gbps) by next year. Gsat-19 was already launched in June last year, Gsat-29 will be launched by November and Gsat-11 (Isro’s heaviest satellite weighing over 5.7 tonnes) will be launched from French Guiana by December. The launch of Gsat-20 has been scheduled next year.”
Isro now looking at January 30 for Chandrayaan-2 launchTNN | Oct 4, 2018, 08.14 PM ISTBENGALURU: January 30, and not January 3 as Isro had earlier indicated, will be the most optimal date for the launch of Chandrayaan-2, India’s second mission to the Moon....TOI has reliably learnt that the committee looked at January 3, January 30, and February 14. After all deliberations, it was said: “January 30 will be a good option for Chandrayaan-2 launch since there is a 27 kg propellant advantage with respect to January 3 launch.”
Prof George Joseph, chair of the advisory committee on space science (ADCOS) of Isro....The project is named DISHA, for Disturbed and quiet-type Ionosphere System at High Altitude, and will involve twin satellites orbiting the Earth at an altitude of 450 km, he added.
According to local media launch is set for November 27th from first launch pad. HySIS (Main payload) has already reached shar. Source: http://www.andhrabhoomi.net/content/nation-8122
Yup things should start picking up now. D2 Mission - November 14th C43 Mission - November 27th GSAT-11 via Ariane 5 - December 5th Mk-2 F11 Mission - Late December (Maybe. Launch campaign started few days ago at newly built SVAB)

Launch Update for BlackSky Global-1 and Global-2November 15, 2018Globals are ready to go!The BlackSky constellation is taking shape. We’re very excited for our first two Global satellites to be on orbit by the end of the month. Global-2 will be first, heading to orbit aboard the Spaceflight SSO-A Smallsat Express mission on a Falcon 9 rocket from Vandenberg Air Force Base. It will be quickly followed by Global-1, which will be launching on the PSLV C43 mission out of India....Looking ahead to 2019, Global 3 and 4 are scheduled to take flight in QU1. Global-3 will be aboard another PSLV and Rocket Lab is taking Global-4 on one of their Electron rockets. We can’t wait for these launches – stay tuned as we bring our vision to fruition.
Here is what Dr K Sivan told NDTV:...Q) Then you have that big satellite to be launched from Kourou?A) Yes. GSAT -9; GSAT -29; GSAT -11; and GSAT-20 will be launched next year. All these satellites combined will work for the digital India. It will provide almost around 70-100 GB per second data link. All the satellites will be useful for the Digital India program.Q) In these next few weeks, how many missions are you doing? You have quite a packed schedule?A) Actually that is true. If you have seen our schedule up till January, we have 10 missions; that is, four launch vehicle missions and six satellite missions. The immediate mission is PSLV C-43. Then the GSLV will launch GSAT-7A. Then another PSLV is going to launch EMISAT. Then GSLV Mk III will launch Chandryaan-2. Alongside, we have two procured launches that is GSAT-11 and GSAT-31. So we have totally 10 missions in a packed mission schedule.

On January 23, 2019, the launch of the commercial satellite Hellas Sat 4http://www.skai.gr/news/technology/article/390065/ton-ianouario-i-ektoxeusi-tou-hellas-sat-4/#ixzz5XQx9j3z
Talking to TOI, Isro chairman K Sivan said, “We are going to launch HySIS at 9.59 am on November 29 from Sriharikota. Over 30 foreign satellites, including nano and mini satellites, will also be launched along with the main payload. Out of the 30 commercial satellites, 23 are from the US.
