It consists of 7 active satellites, 3 satellites are in Geostationary Orbit (GEO) and 4 satellites are in inclined Geosynchronous Orbit (GSO).

Statement 2 is incorrect:

It is an independent satellite-based navigation system to provide positioning, navigation and timing services for users over Indian as well as the region extending up to 1500 km from its boundary, which is its primary service area.

It is expected to provide a position accuracy of better than 20 m in the primary service area.
