In this article we discuss the design of a new 0.5 m telescope which will be installed at the lake site of Udaipur Solar Observatory (USO), India in the first quarter of 2009. The telescope has an off-axis alt-azimuth design, which will provide a low scattered-light performance. The complete telescope including the control system will be made by AMOS, Belgium. The prototype adaptive-optics system for seeing correction is being developed at USO. The design of two back-end instruments, an echelle-scanning spectrograph capable of observing simultaneously in at least two spectral lines, and an imaging spectrometer based on double Fabry-Pérot etalon, and a polarimeter common for both the instruments is in progress. The scientific objectives, design aspects and the current status of the above instruments is discussed in this paper.
