Answer: GSLV Mk. II [Flight Name: GSLV F08]
GSAT is a series of satellites launched by our very own space agency: the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO)
These satellites are meant for communication purposes. These satellites broadcast digital data, audio, and video. They have helped India move forward in becoming self-reliant in the field of broadcasting services.
These are Geosynchronous Satellites and they are launched in Geosynchronous Orbits. This means that the orbital period of these satellites is equal to the Time Period of Rotation of Earth.
So, the orbital time period of these satellites is 23 hours, 56 minutes and 4 seconds [equal to one sidereal day]
GSAT - 6A was launched as a supporting satellite to the GSAT-6. The GSAT-6 has already been helping in broadcasting and communication.
The launch of GSAT-6A will improve the system.

The Launch Vehicle - GSLV Mk. II
GSAT-6A was launched on 29th March 2018, at 16:56 IST from the Satish Dhawan Space Center in Shriharikota in Andhra Pradesh. The Second Launch Pad [SLP] was used.
The satellite launch vehicle is the GSLV Mk. II, which stands for
As the name suggests, it launches satellites into Geosynchronous Orbits.
The GSAT-6A launch was the 8th Flight, so the launch vehicle for GSAT-6A was named as GSLV F08 [F08 = Flight Number 08]
So, the mission is known as GSLV F08 / GSAT 6A Mission

The answer is GSLV-F08.
ISRO successfully launched the GSAT-6A telecommunication satellite in March 2018 using the GSLV-F08 launch vehicle. This is a geosynchronous launch vehicle and the GSAT-6A satellite was its twelfth launch.
The launch vehicle has four liquid propellant strap-on motors and a 139 ton solid propellant first stage core motor. Each strap-on motor was filled with around 43 tons of liquid propellants for the purpose of launching the GSAT-6A satellite.
