Google, under its Project Loon, will be sending big balloons to the skies.
The Loon balloons floating at a height of 20-kilometres above Earth surface for transmission of internet services.
Project Loon has already been successfully tested in New Zealand, California (the US) and Brazil.
Google approached government to set up the Loon project and drone-based internet transmission.
Government has approved testing of Loon project only as of now.
Google uses solar panel and wind to power electronic equipment in the balloon throughout the day.
The source said that Google may operate as technology service provider and not as internet service provider.
The DEITY committee is looking at various aspects to facilitate test like identifying locations, coordination with various agencies.
