Any idea on launch timeline? Probably after GSLV Mk3 X1?

Since a PSLV was recently launched from FLP, assuming a minimum preparation/LV assembly time of 3 months..and factoring in one or maybe 2 months overhead...the earliest the launch could be end of October.

1C would be followed by 1D. Going by the recent/upcoming mission timelines and Oct/Nov cyclone period, this might get delayed to early Jan next year.

Per IRNSS-1C post launch speeches, this one seems to slip to January 2015

What is the typical turn-around time required for the First Launch Pad, involving all the cleaning, maintenance works and assembling of a new rocket? 2-3 months?

We don't know for sure, because this is the first time ISRO has taken up such a tight schedule of launches and missions.

Before 1D, the GSLV-MKIII test launch is likely. ISRO chief said in 45 days which will be early December ..., unless postponed. I think it will use the second launch pad. So first will be available for launch by end of December or early Jan '15

ISRO chairman said that the PSLV-C26 was assembled in 60 days at SDSC SHAR (around 01:14:05 mark ). Since PSLV-C26 used FLP, I guess it occupied launch pad for 60 days. And, from a news article, we have:

Before every satellite is sent up, the launch pad needs a 45-day pre-launch ‘campaign' and a 15-day post-launch refurbishing of burnt-out systems.

"The launch campaign for IRNSS 1D has come, which starts on January 16. Within two months, all components from other ISRO labs have to reach Sriharikota. The launch is likely after March 15," a senior ISRO official told PTI.

The other launches also relate to the IRNSS series with the IRNSS1E and IRNSS1-F satellites to be launched before the year end, he said.

So the launch would be in the evening local time. Someone may be able to find a launch time from Indian local sources....

Anyone got the launch time for March 9?

The 59-hour countdown for the launch of IRNSS 1D satellite, which will help India kick-start functioning of indigenous navigation system on a par with the U.S.’ Global Positioning System (GPS), will commence at 7.35 am on March 7

The launch is scheduled at the first launch pad of Satish Dhawan Space Centre at Sriharikota at 6.35 p.m. on March 9, a senior ISRO official told The Hindu.
