A. J. Nayana (NCRA-TIFR) and Poonam Chandra (NCRA-TIFR) report on behalf of a larger collaboration: We observed broad lined Type Ic supernova AT2018cow (Smartt et al. ATel# 11727) with the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT) on 2018 Aug 12.71 UT in the 1390 MHz band. We clearly detect radio emission at the supernova position. The flux density of the supernova in this band is 438+/-82 uJy. More observations are planned. We thank GMRT staff for carrying out the observations.
