The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology on Monday stated that there was no fixed timeline for the implementation of home-grown global positioning system NavIC on smartphones. The clarification was issued after media reports suggested India was looking to mandate its indigenous navigation system on new smartphone models within months...

What is NavIC, navigation technology developed by ISRO, Why is it being made such a big deal about. We tell you how it helps mobile phone users.

Xiaomi India chief Manu Kumar Jain has announced that the company will soon launch a phone powered by the new Snapdragon 720G SoC and NavIC support in India.

Indian Space Research Organisation and Xiaomi are in advanced stage of talks on provision of chipsets that can support NavIC, the Indian version of Global Positioning System (GPS), an official said in Bengaluru on Wednesday.

Space agency ISRO is all set for the pre-dawn launch of its next satellite the IRNSS-1I, a key part of the country's constellation of navigation satellites. Exactly at 4.04 am, the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle or PSLV will lift off from Sriharikota in Andhra Pradesh, carrying the satellite. The 32-hour countdown is progressing successfully. The I...

The countdown to the launch of the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle or PSLV on its 43rd flight has begun. The PSLV, which will launch tomorrow, will be carrying the satellite IRNSS 1I as part of the Indian constellation of navigation satellites.

Less than a fortnight after ISRO launched home-made communications satellite GSAT-6A, the space agency is geared up to launch its independent and home-made navigation satellite IRNSS or Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System. The IRNSS-1I satellite will lift-off on board the PSLV-C41 rocket on Thursday morning.

After India's first private sector-built satellite imploded within moments of lift-off on Thursday, the space vehicle PSLV has been grounded until a group of scientists and experts investigates what went wrong. In space science parlance, the satellite is resting in its "celestial grave".

The launch of India's first private-sector manufactured satellite, the IRNSS-1H, was declared unsuccessful today. AS Kiran Kumar, the chief of space agency ISRO, which handled the launch, said the satellite's protective heat shield, which is expected to separate and drop off, failed to do so. This was the second failure of PSLV, which had taken up ...

India is ready to launch its first private sector-built navigation satellite today at 7 pm from Sriharikota. The satellite will replace one of NAVIC's seven satellites that is malfunctioning. The 1425 kg IRNSS - 1H satellite will lift off on the back of PSLV, India's workhorse that will be on its 41st flight.

Hailing the successful launch of navigation satellite IRNSS-1G, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday named the new system as 'NAVIC' (boatman) as he dedicated it to the people of the country and said SAARC countries can also take advantage of its services.

The name is supposed to be a contraction of the phrase 'navigation with Indian constellation'.

India will formally join the select group of nations owing such system once IRNSS is declared operational after checking the systems.

India moved one step closer to the exclusive GPS club today with the launch of its seventh and final satellite IRNSS-1G from a PSLV rocket from the launch pad in Sriharikota. The satellite system, once operational, will provide the country with its own version of a Global Positioning System, which can be used by civilians as well as the armed force...

The seventh satellite in the series - IRNSS-1G - weighing 1,425 kg is expected to soon join the other six.
