It is about total weight than number of satellites. Capacity of LVM3 is 4.2 tonnes to GTO, 10 tonnes to LEO a medium lift launcher vs capacity of Ariane is 10 tonnes to GTO and 20 tonnes to LEO, a heavy lift launcher.When can it be realistically expected that GSLV Mk2( or Mk3) launch two fairly large satellites into a geosynchronous( or geostationary) orbit, the way Ariane vehicles do? ISRO would really be entering the big leagues when it does that!
