Browsing: NavIC

The government wants all smartphones to have NavIC, which is more accurate than GPS.The beginning of NavIC’s operation was in 2018. (7year Deferment from target date). But the reason it is in the news right now is that the Indian government wants all smartphones sold there to have the NavIC app (like Google Maps). The hardware of some phones may need to be slightly modified as a result, particularly the chipsets, which will increase the price of the phones.
