The government has finally acknowledged in Parliament that India's indigenous navigation system, NavIC, is currently unable to provide standalone positioning services because too few satellites are operational. Union Minister of State for Space Dr Jitendra Singh said that after the completion of the mission life of IRNSS-1F, only three satellites, IRNSS-1B, IRNSS-1I, and NVS-01, are operational.
