The current status of the India based Neutrino Observatory (INO) project is summarized. The two major physics goals are (a) unambiguous demonstration of neutrino oscillation and a more precise measurement of the associated neutrino parameters and (b) to search for matter effects in neutrino oscillation, using the charge identification capability of the magnetized iron calorimeter, which would help determine the signs of one pair of mass differences. The status of the 1 m3 prototype iron calorimetric detector, the design of the 50 kton magnet, the experience with resistive plate chambers used for tracking the charged particles produced in neutrino-iron interactions and the planned electronics and data acquisition system will be presented.
