Launch manifesto released last year, planning over 19 launches for 2024 has been dud.
So far only 3 launches have been undertaken in 2024, may be particularly due to Gaganyaan workload and unavailability of commercial satellites to launch (Falcon and Electron ate away everything in market while SSLV delayed miserably).

Following launch vehicles have been in preparation work. I won't assign flight numbers to missions as that has been changing quickly.

PSLV - C59, C60, C61, C62, C63, N1, N2 (N-flight d-notes privately built PSLV)
GSLV - F14, F16
SSLV - S1, S2

There are three launches scheduled for December 2024:​
  • Dec 4: PSLV-XL C-59 with ESA's Proba-3​
  • Dec 20: PSLV-CA C-60 with Space Docking Experiment​
  • Dec 31: GSLV Mk-2 F-15 with NVS-02 2nd generation NAVIC Satellite​
 
Updated list.

1. Launch status
2. Preponenment and postponement of NVS-02 and TDS-01 respectively.
3. New timeline for Chandrayaan-5.

Following launch vehicles have been in preparation work. I won't assign flight numbers to missions as that has been changing quickly.

PSLV - C61, C62, C63, N2 (N-flight d-notes privately built PSLV)
GSLV - F14, F16
SSLV - S1, S2

Not covered above. ^^^^

Upcoming student satellite JSSTU JNANAM and potential commercial order for launching 🇺🇸 Blue Bird Block 2 (Blue Origin) on LVM3, both in H1 2025.

There may be further delay of 3-6 months in Gaganyaan-1 if Blubird launch contract is final with ISRO already.

It's funny you have written manned moon soft landing! Is there a manned moon hard landing also planned? :bump2:
