A 21 m diameter imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescope is being installed at the high-altitude astronomical site at Hanle in the Ladakh region of North India. When operational by 2018, it will have the distinction of being the largest gamma-ray telescope in the northern hemisphere and the second largest in the world. Operating at a trigger threshold energy of <20 GeV, it will play an important role in understanding very high energy processes in the Universe.
