They're planning to send a cargo Gaganyaan to the ISS, but haven't said anything about a crewed one.

This post has a nice graphic of the roadmap:

Thanks for the link! Pretty ambitious timeline if it holds.

There's nothing about crewed missions to ISRO's own station, but it seems natural that that would be next. And if they do cargo to the ISS and crew to their own station, why not crew to the ISS?

Unfortunately, I'm sure these timelines will slip. If H3 follows G5, that puts it into 2030+, and it'll start to compete with Long Dragon for an ISS spot.
