There are indications that C45 will not launch before mid March. This would continue the scheme of at least 6-7 weeks between PSLV launches. So Cartosat-3 looks rather like NET April than NET March.

According to Times of India (Dec 2018), it will launch with NEMO-AM. Cartosat-3 is a remote sensing satellite, and NEMO-AM an eath observation (Aerosol Monitoring) sat.

The next PSLV flight, C45, is scheduled to launch on April 1 UTC from the SLP.

The previous launch from the FLP was PSLV C44, on January 24.  It's been a little over two months now since then.

Is there any sign of a launch campaign in progress at the FLP, for the PSLV C46 launch?

From the EMISAT end of launch speech, this is now on C47 and will be after RISAT 2BR1 on C46 in the middle of May. So this makes this launch NET May.

NET June seems more achievable

Regarding the scheduling of this upcoming launch:

Deducing from the launch threads here for Cartosat-2C, 2E, and 2F, there should be a "flag-off" notice or notices for Cartosat-3, yes?

Also, would not UTIAS Space Flight Laboratory release news of a successful delivery of NEMO-AM?

As reported in the RISAT 2B speech by the ISRO Chairman, this launch is now after Chandrayan 2 which has a window from 9 to 16 July. Thus this launch is now NET July.

 And I'm still trying to be absolutely certain what "NET" means :). Before, after, during, not before..?
 Interesting that they changed the launch date of Cartosat-3. It seemed pretty certain it was a June launch, before Chandrayaan.  There would be separate teams working on these missions, so it can't be a personnel issue.

According to M1 post launch speech by ISRO chairman this will be the next mission for ISRO. A launch in August/September is highly probable.

Cross-post:
With the final preparations at the SLP for the launch of Chandrayaan-2, is there any sign of activity at the FLP?
It has been two months since the last launch from the FLP, PSLV-CA C46.

Is there a PSLV being assembled on the FLP?

If so, could it be for this launch?  Or another PSLV payload?

FLP is bring upgraded and these works may be slowing the manifest down a bit. SVAB coming online for SLP and TLP beginning soon will help to accelerate launches. SSLV and other experimental launches from FLP and Indian PM wanting a Spaceport in his home state has also created unrelated issues.

 So it looks like no launches in the month of August. That's somewhat disappointing- unless they're planning a SSLV in August, or a RLV-TD.

Cross-post; apparent match to operational orbit of Cartosat-3:
1560-EX-ST-2019

The overall goal of the Meshbed mission is to test the FUSE experimental phased array
communication antenna.

The satellite will be launched as a secondary payload aboard a Polar Satellite Launch
Vehicle (PSLV) operated by the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO), from
Sriharikota, India NET October 15, 2019, and deployed upon the rocket reaching orbit. It
will be deployed from the rocket in a 505 km circular orbit, on an inclination from the
equator of 97.4 degrees.
