http://www.millenniumpost.in/big-stories/india-puts-risat-2b-satellite-into-orbit-354152On future launches, Sivan said, "The next mission -- Chandrayaan-2 -- is going to be a landmark mission for India. It is going to be the most complex mission ever undertaken by ISRO. It is going to take place between July 9 and July 16 this year." He added that the landing on the moon is expected to be on September 6. "It is going to land at a particular location where nobody has gone before." After Chandrayaan-2, Sivan said, "ISRO would look at launching the very high resolution CARTOSAT 3 satellite." "A second demonstration of the reusable launch vehicle is going to happen in the coming months. Cost effective small satellite launch vehicle developments are also going to take place in a few months from now," he added.

https://www.deccanchronicle.com/nation/current-affairs/090619/bengaluru-rakesh-sharma-attends-gaganyaan-review.htmlChandrayaan to be launched on July 15
India's second lunar mission, Chandrayaan-II, will be launched on July 15 by a GSLV-MkIII rocket from Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC), Sriharikota Range. A combo of an orbiter, a lander named 'Vikram (after the late Dr Vikram Sarabhai), and a rover christened 'Pragyan', it will cruise through outer space for two months before entering into an orbit around the earth's nearest astral neighbour. The lander-rover will touch down on the Moon, close to the South Pole, in the first week of September to probe the lunar surface as well as carryout experiments. In all, 13 instruments (eight on the orbiter, three on the lander, and two on the rover) along with one from NASA (a laser retro-reflector array or LRA) will be carried onboard Chandrayaan-II, according to sources in ISRO.

https://www.financialexpress.com/lifestyle/science/india-to-have-its-own-space-station-isro-plans-to-take-historic-leap/1606536/Outlining its ambitious future plans, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has announced that it will have a separate space station by 2030.
At a press conference in New Delhi, Dr K Sivan, Chairman, ISRO announced “‘it will be a smaller module, which would be mainly used to carry out microgravity experiments.”
...
He also announced agency’s ambitious mission to the Sun — Aditya-L1 (Liberator) in 2020 and its major aim is to study the Sun’s corona, through which it will be easier to understand more about climate change on earth.
Sivan said that “The agency wants to study its effects on climate change and we hope to launch it in the first half of next year.”

Gaganyaan test missions are not included in the list. We see only:
2022
- GSLV MkIII - GaganYaan (First manned mission)
Meanwhile, according to the Indian "manned" thread, the three missions are planned:
Dec 2020 - unmanned test mission
Jun 2021 - unmanned test mission
Dec 2021 (or H1 2022) - first manned mission

Ran across this filing for a small sat with a launch planned for August on PSLV with the same orbit as RISAT.
1781-EX-ST-2018Mission Description:
Hera Systems Inc. will launch one 1HOPSat-TD spacecraft in a launch window opening on July 31,
2019, and closing in September 2019. This spacecraft will launch to an altitude of 555 km and
inclination of 37 degrees.
During launch, the satellite will be contained in a 12U CubeSat payload dispenser attached to the
upper stage of the launch vehicle. The 12U dispensers provide full enclosure of the satellite until
deployment in orbit. After deployment and prescribed time delays, a hatch panel will open to allow light
into the imager aperture, deploy antennas, and reorient a small solar panel. Imaging and
communications will begin after this hatch is opened. There will be no propulsion on the 1HOPSat-TD
spacecraft. Pointing control is provided by precise attitude determination and control systems. A GPS
unit is included for accurate orbit location. The 1HOPSat-TD spacecraft orbit will decay naturally from
555 km.
The satellite contains an imaging telescope payload for recording images and video of customerspecified regions of the Earth at one (1) meter ground sample distance (GSD). The collected images
will be transmitted to Earth through multiple ground stations over a single carrier, OQPSK, X-band
radio link. Commanding, telemetry, and supplemental image downlink will be implemented with an
experimental C-band radio using 802.11n (OFDM) technology. Commanding and telemetry are
supplemented with an Iridium™ short burst data (SBD) radio providing low rate data

https://www.theweek.in/theweek/cover/2019/07/12/ready-for-take-off.htmlSkyroot Aerospace, a Hyderabad-based private space company, is building India’s first private orbital launch vehicles. ‘Vikram’, the first such vehicle, will be launched in 2021. It is capable of putting up satellites that weigh less than 300kg in low earth orbit (altitudes of up to 2,000km).
