Launch vehicle should be a PSLV-CA, assuming there are no other similarly-massed payloads aboard, and that the upper stage will not maneuver extensively after deploying TeLEOS 2.

https://twitter.com/isrospaceflight/status/1645755601363038209Launch preparations for PSLV-C55 are in full swing at Sriharikota with a tentative launch date on 22nd April!
The 1st and 2nd stages have already been integrated and transferred to FLP for integration with 3rd & 4th stages & PLF+payload assembly. #ISRO #PSLVC55
In previous PSLV missions, the entire vehicle was integrated at the FLP with the help of MST.
But from this mission onwards, the 1st & 2nd stages will be integrated at the new PIF facility, be transferred to MST/FLP (via FLP's new MLP) for rest of integration work & launch.
These changes to launch operations were made to allow the partial integration of a PSLV vehicle even when the FLP is occupied by another PSLV vehicle, thus increasing launch frequency.
FLP = First Launch Pad
MST = Mobile Service Tower
MLP = Mobile Launch Pedestal
PLF = Payload Fairing
PIF = PSLV Integration Facility

. In addition to TeLEOS-2 there is apparently also a 12U cubesat on board named Lumelite-4 on board, also from Singapore (not sure who's the owner). In addition 8 non-separable payloads will fly attached to the 4th stage operating in the POEM (PSLV Orbital Experimental Module) configuration for the 2nd time.
Planned orbit: 585 km, 10° inclination LEO.

It's a cubesat from the National University of Singapore:

Interesting - we have a new version of the PSLV-CA rocket, which either feature combined external TVC fluid tanks and roll control pods or have the roll control engine pods omitted.

It was, but for some reason, the launch was pushed back one minute.
I didn’t watch the webcast, hence why I don’t know the answer to the T0 change.

It’s possible a fuel tank from this mission has washed up on a beach in Western Australia.
The Australian Space Agency, which is also part of the investigation, said it was looking into the possibility that it could be a part of a foreign space launch vehicle.
“The agency is working to confirm whether the object could be part of a foreign space launch vehicle that has washed up on shore, and liaising with global counterparts who may be able to provide information about the object,” a spokesperson for the agency said.
“As the origin of the object is unknown, the community should avoid handling or attempting to move the object.”
Experts said that the object could be a part of India’s satellite launch to the moon. It is suspected to be the fuel tank of the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) rocket. The latest PSLV mission was the PSLV-55 that was successfully launched in April this year.

This mission went into a low inclination orbit of 10°. Third stage separation occurred at T+586.68 s (9m46.68s) at an altitude of 350 km heading towards space. Not sure where re-entry would be but it would be quite a bit east of India. Someone could work this out from the telemetry that was shown. That's a fairly long trip to Green Head, Western Australia, where the stage was recovered! The previous C54 launch was to a polar orbit, so the third stage probably has an easier path to get to Western Australia.
