Does any one know the max payload capacity of PSLV CA version. Till now I thought, it was around 600 kg into 820 km PSSO (Polar Sun Syncronous orbit). But C18 carries bigger payload - 1047kg into 817 km PSSO orbit. Does ISRO introduce any changes in the vehicle configuration?
Thanks in advance

Megha-tropiques will be injected in a low-inclined orbit of 20° (
source) not in PSSO

The PSLV-CA has a capacity of about 1100 kg for this orbit, so we are near the upper limit with this launch.
AFAIK, the PSLV-CA version has not received any upgrades since it has been introduced.

"this orbit" meaning, I presume, 20° inclination, not PSSO

Sorry for the confusion: PSLV-CA has a capacity of about 1100 kg for PSSO. For the 20° incl it is higher.

Hi, I tried using one of these online timezone converters, and I'm not sure if it churned out the correct answer for me.
Oct12 11:00AM Sriharikota time = Oct12 1:30AM Eastern Standard Time
Is that correct? I was just mulling over whether I'd be inclined to stay up to watch the launch.

Seems to be correct: 01:30 am Eastern corresponding to 0530UTC

No-fly zones as per NOTAM
AFAIU, these zones correspond respectively to Stage 1, Fairing, Stage 2 and Stage 3 drop zones

How does one pronounce "Megha?"

"May-ghah" would be my closest approximation.
India also has a state called Meghalaya, which means "abode of clouds" in ancient Sanskrit (just like how Himalaya means "abode of snow"):
