Home-grown firm chips in for India’s satellite navigation push

India’s aspirations for self-reliance in satellite navigation are set to find a truly indigenous thrust.

An Indian company, for the first time, will design and manufacture chipsets capable of processing signals from Navigation with Indian Constellation (NavIC) developed by the Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro).

The Ministry of Science and Technology and the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology are collaborating with Hyderabad-based Manjeera Digital Systems in the design and commercial production of these chipsets that can receive and process NavIC signals.
