After the completion of orbit raising operations, the two solar arrays and both the antenna reflectors of GSAT-15 will be deployed. Following this, the satellite will be put in its final orbital configuration. GSAT-15 will be positioned at 93.5 deg East longitude in the geostationary orbit along with the operational INSAT-3A and INSAT-4B satellites. Later, it is planned to experimentally turn on the communication payloads of GSAT-15. After the successful completion of all the in-orbit tests, GSAT-15 will be ready for operational use.

this is predicted data. will take some time to refresh/update. don't worry. gsat might be placed on orbit when it reaches 93.5°E. isro won't waste valuable fuel. we will get official announcement tomorrow from isro.

The Satellite is in 96.40 as of now. I think it will take long time to settle in 93.5.
