Abstract. We present some physics possibilities with an iron calorimeter detector (ICAL) and a status report on the feasibility study to construct such a detector at a future possible India-based Neutrino Observatory (INO). This talk was given at the work-shop on high energy physics phenomenology, WHEPP-8, in Jan. 2004, at IIT Bombay.

Keywords. Underground neutrino laboratory; iron calorimeter; atmospheric neutrinos;

neutrino oscillations.
