Abstract: The Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT),
in India, consists of 30 fully steerable gigantic parabolic dishes of
45m diameter each spread over distances of about 25 km and operates
from 100 to 1450 MHz split into four bands. A major upgrade to the
GMRT is complete resulting in seamless frequency coverage from 130 to
1460 MHz with instantaneous bandwidth upto 400 MHz. The upgraded GMRT
(uGMRT) is SKA-Pathfinder and offers deep view of the sky at low radio
frequencies down to a few tens of microJy/beam, with a resolution of
several arcseconds. Here we present an overview of uGMRT and some
early science results.
