Abstract:
The Square Kilometre Array Observatory (SKAO) is perhaps the most ambitious radio telescope
envisaged yet. It will enable unprecedented studies of the Sun, corona and heliosphere and help to answer
many of the outstanding questions in these areas. Its ability to make a vast previously unexplored phase space
accessible, also promises a large discovery potential. The Indian solar and heliospheric physics community has
been preparing for this science opportunity. A significant part of this effort has been towards playing a leading
role in pursuing science with SKAO precursor instruments. This paper briefly summarises the current status of
the various aspects of work done as a part of this enterprise and our future goals.
