IMD to buy two Isro satellites, to help improve weather forecast
Mint Kolkata
|July 04, 2025
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) plans to ask the Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) to build and launch two fourth-generation INSAT series satellites, helping improve the accuracy of its weather forecasting.
These new satellites will replace IMD's two third-generation INSAT satellites by 2028-29 and at a cost of ₹1,800 crore, said IMD director general Mrutyunjay Mohapatra in an interview. The upgraded satellites will give a better resolution of images and be equipped with state-of-the-art sensors for lightning forecasting, said Mohapatra.
As many as 162 people were killed by lightning strikes in March and April.
