We present a status report on the proposed India-based Neutrino Observatory (INO). Various aspects of the INO project such as its location, the present status of the detector development, physics goals and simulation studies are discussed briefly. In particular we focus on physics studies possible with an iron calorimeter detector (ICAL) and the logistics of constructing this detector at INO. Such a detector would make precision measurements of neutrino oscillation parameters with atmospheric neutrinos in the first phase with the possibility of acting as a far-end detector of a future neutrino factory or beta beam.
