Abstract:	India’s National Large Solar Telescope (NLST) will provide opportunities to observe the Sun with high spatial, spectral, and polarimetric resolution. The large aperture also enables high-cadence spectropolarimetry with moderate spatial resolution. A multi-slit spectropolarimeter is planned as one of the back-end instruments for this powerful telescope, primarily to measure vector magnetic fields in both active and quiet regions. An integral-field unit added with the multi-slit spectropolarimeter will enable fast-cadence observation. Here we discuss the scientific requirements for such an instrument, along with advantages and limitations of the concept and preliminary design details.
