PSLV-C37 will be launching 103 satellites, instead of the earlier planned 83. This will be a world record. Cheers guys

It's not limited to 81 or 83 satellites, ISRO is gearing up for launching 103 satellites in a single mission.
Thus we will beat the current world records of 37 Sats by Russia and 29 Sats by USA.
The readiness and availability of the recently included 20 more nano satellites are yet to be confirmed. That's the reason why this total count of 103 is not officially released to the national media.
But it was reported by a malayalam daily (Deshabhimani) from Kerala 2 weeks back.
(There might be some insider source through which that newspaper got exclusive news)

ISRO to launch record 103 satellites next month
ISRO will launch a record 103 satellites in one go using its workhorse PSLV-C37 in the first week of February, while Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s pet South Asian satellite project will take off in March. As many as 100 of the satellites set for launch in February belong to foreign nations, including the US and Germany.
“We are making a century by launching over 100 satellites at one go,” said S Somnath, Director of the Liquid Propulsion Systems Centre of the ISRO. The space agency had earlier planned a launch of 83 satellites in the last week of January, of which 80 were foreign ones. But with the addition of 20 more foreign satellites, the launch was delayed by a week and will now take place in first week of February, Somnath said.
He, however, did not specify the number of countries that would launch its satellites in this mission, but said it includes nations like the US and Germany. ”These will be 100 micro-small satellites, which will be launched using a PSLV (Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle)- C37.
The weight of the payload will be 1350 kgs, of which 500-600 kgs will be the satellite’s weight,” Somnath added. The launch will be a major feat in country’s space history as no exercise on this scale has been attempted before. Last year, ISRO launched 22 satellites at a go and this launch will have almost five times the number of crafts. The South Asian satellite will be a part of GSAT-9, which will be launched in March this year, said M Nageshwara Rao, Associate Director of ISRO.
The communication satellite was to be launched in December 2016, but was slightly delayed as some other satellites are to be launched before that. Sources said talks with Afghanistan to have the country on-board for the project is in its final stages. Envisaged as a gift to its neighbours, the project, earlier known as SAARC satellite, faced stiff resistance from Pakistan. The neighbouring country wanted it to be launched under the aegis of the South Asian regional forum. It later backed out of the project. Apart from India, the satellite will benefit Sri Lanka, Maldives, Bangladesh, Nepal and Bhutan.

The only media which reported this news exclusive 2 weeks back was a Malayalam language news paper. So I had to give the link to the newspaper's webpage which was available only in Malayalam.
Google translates Indian regional languages including Malayalam into English, easily and accurate. So there is no matter of concerning about the readability in English. Moreover, the post before my post (by Abinabha bro) was giving link to a Telugu media page, which I could translate and read in English.
Hope my point is clear
{ I would also like to point out that you have violated the forum rule by quoting completely a longer post :-D }
