LIGO-India is an ambitious, large scale mega-science project that will establish a state-of-the-art advanced LIGO gravitational wave (GW) observatory on Indian soil in collaboration with the LIGO Laboratory in the USA. LIGO-India is expected to commence science operations in 2024 as a key element of a global array of gravitational wave observatories. Beyond the first direct detection of gravitational waves announced in February 2016 by LIGO Science Collaboration, LIGO-India brings forth a great opportunity for Indian scientists and technologists for leadership at the frontier, a new window of gravitational-wave astronomy to probe the universe.
