Let tell you the truth, do you know what is the weight for oneweb satellite? 150 kg each, so for 36, total weight is 5.4 tons. so as this video said, GSLV MKIII can send near "10 tons" into space, but why it needs to launch 2 times to send all 36 into space??? haha :) the real reason is, if you go to check the record of GSLV MKIII, it has never sent anything more than 4 tons into space (compare to Chin's long march 5 b with 25 tons LEO capacity).
as the video said, the first 2 stages are ready, waiting for the third stage cryogenic engine, for the 4 successfully launches, the cryogenic engine was from Russia, but Russia now refuse to sell it to India, so India started to use its own, last year, GSLV F10 with India's own made cryogenic engine failed to send EOS-03 into orbit.
