The launch of the satellite was repeatedly postponed owing to the Coronavirus in the country, but ISRO has now set a date for its launch. The EOS-4/RISAT-1A is actually a microwave remote sensing satellite. Although, along with the satellite, two more satellites are being launched into space: INSPIREsat-1, developed by students at the Indian Institute of Science and Technology, and INS-2B, an Indo-Bhutan joint satellite.
The launch of the satellite was confirmed by ISRO on Twitter.
