The coverage of satellite derived winds over the data gap Indian Ocean region has improved with the operation of India’s first dedicated satellite for meteorology KALPANA-1 since 12 September 2002. Availability of these data has opened up a new possibility to examine the impact of these data in the operational NWP system of India Meteorological Department (IMD). In this paper, impact of KALPANA-1 CMV  data in the  NWP  system  of IMD has been presented based on the experiments carried-out for the monsoon 2003.  The impact of additional wind data in the model is found to be significant and beneficial.
