Indian Express publishes explainer detailing that India's NavIC satellite positioning system had stopped providing location data after atomic clock failures and recent launch failures.

“The space agency started work on NavIC in 1999 after the Kargil war, where Indian defence forces could not use the US-owned GPS system to provide locational aid to its soldiers in conflict zones.”
