ABOUT GSAT 29 OPTICAL COMUNNICATION LINK
we are still struggling to establish the communication channel. Although we could locate the satellite, we could establish the link between ground station and the satellite but we are not able to transmit data because of some technical issues which are there on the onboard setter. So now we cannot repair it also. So we are just trying to see doing various experiment for ground to satellite satellite to satellite type of different type of communication data transmission. So this was the precursor the first development of optical link

Is the satellite GSAT-29 otherwise doing well? With the telecom payloads and the remote sensing capability, a first for ISRO in geosynchronous orbit. It was the heaviest satellite lifted by an Indian launcher at the time( Dec/ 2018). It would be reassuring to know that, glitch apart, everything on the satellite is working fine.

Only optical communication payload is non responsive rest of it is working in including tr module but optical payload was an experiment for GISAT PROGRAM

It was 4 user spot Ka-band beams and 4 user spot Ku-band beams to provide Village Resource Centres (VRC) in rural areas to bridge the digital divide of users including those in Jammu & Kashmir and North Eastern regions of India. It also features Q/V band payload, optical communication payload and GEO High Resolution Camera (GHRC) camera with telescope

All these beams are active @Varoon4

Thanks, great to know! Incidentally, we hear next to nothing about that high resolution camera on board GSAT 29. By now, 6 and a half years later, you would expect some information to have seeped through to the public. Is it because it's highly classified given its uniqueness and sophistication? If so( and I hope it's that) then best not to probe!

Why would ISRO propose a new design over a more economical tri core NGLV ?

And if you're going for a clean sheet design then why design a complicated & heavy tri-core rocket ?
