Isro is working on increasing the coverage of its Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System or NaVIC to 3,000 km from the existing 1,500 km (from beyond the Indian boundary), Isro chairman S Somanath informed on Tuesday. During the CSIR Foundation Day event at Bharat Mandapam, Somanath gave a presentation of the space agency’s activities where he informed that Isro is trying to increase the navigation coverage of NaVIC. Once the coverage is widened, NaVIC will not only work in India but its signals will also be present in neighbouring states or Saarc nations.
