ISRO is preparing to launch EOS-05 aboard GSLV-F17 on September 4, 2026, marking India’s first imaging satellite designed for geosynchronous orbit. Positioned roughly 36,000 km above Earth after its planned orbit-raising manoeuvres, EOS-05 is intended to provide frequent, wide-area observations of India and nearby regions. Its major advantage is repeat coverage for applications such as disaster monitoring, agriculture and environmental observation.
Delhi has approved a revised rooftop solar policy aimed at removing the upfront cost for eligible households.
