Indian launch schedule

• A few months ago...in one of my discussions with an ISRO engineer...I learnt of a completely experimental mission of GSLV-MKIII with only the first and second stages in 2012... I doubt if this is feasible.
  
  Also, I assume that the below article may be an incorrect reporting..(though it is very rare of well respected newspapers like The Hindu to report incorrectly)

  The GSLV -Mk-III will be launched by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) for experimental purposes next year:

  Well, in June the ISRO Chairman announced flight testing of GSLV MkIII "in the next 2 years", so I'll leave it in 2013 in the schedule, until the Chairman says something different...

  President Pratibha Patil visited the Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC SHAR) at Sriharikota here on Monday and dedicated the new Mission Control Centre to the nation.
  
  She also witnessed a simulation of the launch of the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) at the Mission Control Centre and various exhibits of the advances in space science and technology. The new centre has been developed with state-of-the-art facilities to meet the requirements for the launch of the Geo-Synchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle Mark-III and future missions of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO).
  
  Later, she visited the First Launch Pad, where the integration of the soon-to-be-launched of PSLV-C19 was in progress.

  I thought RISAT-1 on PSLV XL C19 needed the Second Launch Pad (SLP)

  ISRO was forced to move RISAT-1 launch to FLP which doesn't support full assembly and integration services at.
  
  Let's see how FLP is going to handle heavy RISAT-1 payload along with piggy back satellites!

  This is due to unavailability of 2nd launch pad, since GSLV flight test preparations are under progress.

• ISRO set to launch 5 rockets this year
   
  According to this article, this could mean:
• 3  PSLV for PSLV C19 (Risat-1), PSLV C20 (a "satellite using indigenous technology"-possibly Saral) and PSLV C21 for a satellite "belonging to France" (possibly  SPOT-6)
   
• 2 GSLV: GSLV-D5 (MkII) in August and GSLV MkIII before the end of the year
