Yah, I was misled by the sentence. They are referring to two separate launch missions. It would be nice to see a double launch into geosynchronous orbit though. Perhaps within a couple of years!

https://www.firstpost.com/tech/science/arianespace-to-launch-3-heavy-indian-satellites-over-the-next-9-months-isro-4951591.htmlContrary to earlier reports, ISRO has decided to launch the two heavier satellites GSAT-31 and GSAT-30 on Ariane-5 to replace INSAT-4CR whose life gets over in January and INSAT-4A, as its life span ends in July 2019.
"Unless we launch the two satellites (GSAT-31 & GSAT-30) before the lifespan of earlier satellites end, we will have no telecast link and direct-to-home (DTH) services in the country," Sivan pointed out.
INSAT-4CR was launched on 2 September, 2007 by ISRO on GSLV-F04 from Sriharikota and INSAT-4A was launched from Kourou on 22 December, 2005.
Though ISRO planned to launch GSAT-31 and GSAT-30 on its heavy rocket GSLV Mk-2 (Geo-Stationary Launch Vehicle-Mark 2), it gave up the move as the life of the two spacecraft would be for only three years and not 15 years as intended to be.
As the GSLV Mark-3 will be used to launch India's second lunar mission Chandrayaan-2 with a lander and rover on 3 January, the space agency is compelled to launch the two replacing heavy satellites on Arian-5.
"As per Arianespace protocol, the launch date must be signed four months prior to lift-off. We need to launch GSAT-31 by 15 December as the satellite (INSAT-4CR) to be replaced has a lifespan till January," added Sivan.

Here is another bit of confusingly worded information, making it sound like the GSLV Mark 2 is launching two satellites. If they can, wonderful. But someone pointed out it's not the case. Incidentally, what is AMISAT?
https://www.ibtimes.co.in/here-why-isro-has-postpone-chandrayaan-2-mission-once-again-777754Following that, GSAT-7A is scheduled to be launched in November
and in December, GSLV-F11 would be launching AMISAT and GSAT-31, informed the chairman of ISRO.

https://www.business-standard.com/article/news-ians/india-will-put-man-in-space-for-seven-days-isro-chairman-118081500485_1.htmlFor the first time, India's space agency is planning to put an Indian astronaut for seven days in space at a cost less than Rs 10,000 crore as part of its manned mission by 2022, ISRO Chairman K. Sivan said on Wednesday.
With Prime Minister Narendra Modi giving the Indian Space Research Organisation the target to be achieved in the next four years, Sivan told IANS: "Our plan is to have a human being in space for seven days and not less than that.
"He will be in a spacecraft, 300-400 km above earth," Sivan said, as he explained that the rocket to be used for the manned mission would be a Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle Mark III (GSLV-Mk III).
He said the first unmanned flight as part of a manned space mission will happen two years from now.
"There will be two unmanned space missions before the actual manned space mission," Sivan added.
In his Independence Day address to the nation, Modi said: "In space technology, we have dreamt something; our scientists have dreamt something. And I am happy to announce that by 2022, the 75th Independence year, we are planning a manned space mission.
"We will put an Indian in space by 2022 or earlier," Modi said.

Nice to know that there are going to be four flights between now, and December. And soon after, the Chandrayaan mission( if everything goes well) and the GSAT-7A.

.....so the new RISAT-2B is a constellation (or grouping) of more than 1 radar satellite?
Is it still built elsewhere? (if not, why isn't it -1B?)

Once again, a slight alteration in the flight schedule, for the better!
GSAT-7A is going up in November again, after being pushed back to Jan-Feb in an earlier report.

Thereafter, Isro will launch 5.6 tonne GSAT-11, its heaviest satellite ever made, from French Guiana on November 30.
In December, Isro's PSLV C44 will launch Emisat. The same month Isro will launch GSAT-31 from French Guiana. This [/b]communication satellite will be a replacement for Insat 4CR[/b].
In January itself, Isro's PSLV C45 rocket will carry a remote sensing satellite Risat-2B.
In February, PSLV C46 will launch two satellites - Cartosat-3, a remote sensing satellite, and NEMO AM, the next-generation earth monitoring and observation-aerosol monitoring satellite. In March, Isro plans to launch another reconnaissance satellite Risat-2BR1. Risat-2B, Cartosat-3 and Risat-2BR1 will increase the surveillance capabilities of the country.
