An Indian commercial communications satellite providing extended C-band coverage for South Asian customers. CMS-01 replaced the aging GSAT-14 satellite, maintaining continuity of the Ku-band capacity that Indian television broadcasters and corporate network operators depend on. It covers the Indian subcontinent, Bay of Bengal, and Arabian Sea — the geographic range of India's commercial satellite connectivity requirements.
