The National Institute for Space Research (INPE) has concluded the process for contracting the services that will put Amazonia-1, the first fully-designed earth observation satellite assembled and tested in Brazil, into orbit. The US company Spaceflight Inc has won international competition and will launch with the PSLV ( Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle [/ I]) from a base in India in 2020.

https://www.satellitetoday.com/launch/2018/12/20/spaceflight-to-launch-brazils-amazonia-1-satellite/Amazonia-1 will be the primary spacecraft on the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) mission, with the excess capacity filled by Spaceflight’s smallsat rideshare customers. Targeting mid-2020, Amazonia-1 will be deployed to a mean altitude 760 kilometers sun-synchronous orbit, while the additional secondary rideshare spacecraft will be deployed at a lower altitude. Spaceflight will provide a combination of launch and end-to-end mission management services, as well as hardware for INPE.

https://www.thehindu.com/sci-tech/science/isro-readies-for-a-busy-2019/article25861196.eceISRO’s 2019 calendar is dotted with 32 new missions, an ambitious record-making goal for the most number of Indian missions in a year. In contrast, 2018 saw about 14 missions against a goal of 18, including the failed GSAT-6A satellite of April.
The new year’s very first mission is set for January and will try out a unique experiment to re-control and rework the fourth and last stage of the PSLV-C44 rocket after it completes its job in space. C-44 is slated to carry the 150/200-kg special purpose Microsat-R to a low-Earth polar orbit.
ISRO readies for a busy 2019
Stage 4 or PS4 takes the satellite to the last lap of desired height (anywhere between 400 km and 700 km.) Job done, it floats there for several years as space junk.
ISRO Chairman K. Sivan said the trial with the expired fourth rocket stage would easily be the first of its kind by any space agency. It would show PS4 as a unique cost-saving test bed for new technologies.
“Stage 4 of the PSLV rocket usually goes into orbit as debris once the satellite is released. We want to see if we can use it as a low-cost experimental platform for students working in space-related areas and for our own technologies,” he said.
The PSLV’s fourth and final stage weighs about 450 kg and equals two micro satellites (100-500 kg class). A full test satellite of that size can cost around ₹200 crore, an avoidable expense in the high-risk space business. Also, some piggyback trial payloads can use such test beds and not eat up precious space or add to the weight of a working satellite. Dr. Sivan said the revived stage of the PSLV-C44 flight would be equipped with solar power systems to keep it working and monitored from ground.
Speaking about other missions, Dr. Sivan said the the satellite and launcher plans will meet applications, communication, remote sensing requirements as also showcase science and new technologies.

I guess Aditya L1 was slated for 2021.

Phagwara, January 6
The Indian Institute of Astrophysics (IIA), Bengaluru, in association with Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) will in 2020 launch the country’s first mission to study the chemical composition of Sun’s corona and various heat-generating reactions around it.
While such missions are currently being undertaken by US space agency NASA, India will send out a coronagraph aboard Aditya-L1 satellite, the first Indian mission to study the Sun.

From 53:20
PSLV C44 with Microsat-R payload will be in new 'PSLV-DL' configuration with only two strap-ons.
PSLV C45 will be with EMIsat and around 30 commercial payloads as rideshares.
