RE: Tentative launch schedule of ISRO
Sullurpeta: ISRO is preparing for two launches in August. Assembly works for GSLV-F06 have begun in VAB linked to SLP since June 30. Of the 5 segments to be integrated in the first stage, Nozzle and Middle segments have already been integrated and Middle-2 segment will be integrated on Monday.This rocket will be used to launch a communication satellite( GSAT-9 ?) to orbit.
PSLV-C35 assembly ops will begin on the 15th of this month at the First Launch Pad.

RE: Tentative launch schedule of ISRO
Deferred GSAT-18 awaits October launch at Kourou - NATIONAL - The Hindu
GSAT-18, the country’s upcoming communication satellite, has to wait until October in Kourou in French Guiana for launch after its Japanese co-passenger was found damaged days ahead of the launch planned this month.
The 3.4-tonne satellite would have flown into its orbit on July 12 on a European Ariane 5 rocket along with the Japanese spacecraft.
The launch company, Arianespace, deferred the scheduled double-launch after Japan’s Superbird-8 spacecraft reportedly sustained damage.
Next GSAT-17
The three-month gap would not affect the available national satellite capacity. The next one, GSAT-17, also by Arianespace, is getting ready for blast-off in the first quarter of 2017, Mr. Kumar told Hindu.
[size=medium]Health monitoring[/size]
Meanwhile, GSAT-18 remains at the Guiana Space Centre while most of the satellite’s engineering support team that accompanied it from Bengaluru has returned. A small team has stayed back to monitor the health of the spacecraft.
Post-launch, GSAT-18 will be positioned at 74 degrees East longitude, where the older INSAT 4CR (launched in 2007) and INSAT-3C (of 2002) are functioning.

RE: Tentative launch schedule of ISRO
ISRO to launch weather satellite INSAT-3DR in August | Business Standard News
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is planning to launch its Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV) Mark II with weather satellite INSAT-3DR in August.
Speaking at a meeting of the Madras Institute of Technology Alumni Association, he said that the INSAT-3DR is getting ready for launch next month, in the GSLV rocket.
The Space agency has launched INSAT-3D in 2013, aiming at providing inputs related to weather.
A PSLV, with weather satellite Scatsat, to gather data about cyclones, wind vectors and climate change monitoring, is also scheduled to be launched in August.

RE: Tentative launch schedule of ISRO
Update :
1. Isro Looking to Launch INSAT-3DR Weather Satellite on August 28 with the geosynchronous satellite launch vehicle (GSLV-MkII)
2. In September 2016, Isro will launch ScatSat -1 a weather monitoring and forecasting satellite - with polar satellite launch vehicle (PSLV).
The Indian satellite will be a co-passenger to an Algerian satellite.
Both the satellites will be put into different orbits. So the fourth stage/engine of the rocket will be switched off after ejecting ScatSat first. Then after a gap of around 30 minutes, the engine will be switched on and put the Algerian satellite into its intended orbit.
