If first flight takes place in 2020, then we should see a prototype in 2018/2019. right?
That depends on the developer, look at the T50, which was available as a prototype and even done ground tests, when the whole world was speculating about fan arts and concepts in the media or the internet. We basically knew only how it really looked like, when the first flight was made. With DRDO as the developer and their love of present themselfs infront of the media, I don't think such an ammount of secrecy will be possible, but just from the timing, that's not an issue, although I wouldn't expect them to meet the 2020 aim.
