I think that GSLV Mark-3 will become fully operational around 2014-15. Any idea what would be the weight of INSAT series by that time, as I understand that the weight of these satellites is also increasing over time

I reckon it would be air borne before that, INSAT weight would not be a problem because the last heaviest INSAT was 2 plus tons and GSLV-3 (has enough room) can handle 4 tons of cargo.
