The Square Kilometre Array (SKA), the world's next-generation radio telescope, is being designed by an international consortium. It will, once complete, deliver capability for a broader range of science than any other facility. Indian scientists and engineers have played a critical role in the definition of the SKA concept and its science case, in the design of the instrument and, hopefully, will do so in the construction and operation. This article describes the current status of the global project with a focus on India's role in the global collaboration.
