National Technical Research Organisation (NTRO)
The National Technical Research Organisation (NTRO) is an Indian technical intelligence agency.
Since its inception in 2004, the agency has often been the subject of national controversy.
The NTRO acts as the primary advisor on security issues to the Prime Minister and the Union
Council of Ministers of India. It also provides technical intelligence to other Indian
agencies.
NTRO's activities include satellite and
terrestrial monitoring. It cannot, however, legally monitor Internet or other communications; there
are nine other agencies authorized to do so. NTRO is also charged with developing technology
relevant to Indian national security and intelligence. These technologies include cryptology, cybersecurity and data
management.
