The world’s largest low-frequency radio telescope, Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT) located at Narayangaon, around 80km from Pune, has been in operation in the international arena for over a decade now, and is used by astronomers from all over the world, with more than 50 per cent of users coming from outside India. Its upgradation work, which began in 2014, was completed in 2019. The upgrade will help provide missing answers to the history of the universe as the new capabilities would grant GMRT access to a plethora of space imagery.
