High-spin structure of In has been investigated with the Mo(N, 5)In reaction at a beam energy of 78 MeV using the in-beam spectroscopic method. The level scheme of In has been modified considerably and extended by 46 new -rays to the highest excited state at 8.979 MeV and =(45/2). The new level scheme consists of eight bands, six of which are identified as dipole bands. The configurations have been tentatively assigned with the help of the systematics of neighboring odd- indium isotopes and the experimental aligned angular momenta. The dipole bands are then compared with the titled axis cranking calculation in the framework of covariant density function theory (TAC-CDFT). The results of theoretical calculation based on the configurations, which involve one proton hole at the orbital and two or four unpaired neutrons at , and orbitals, show that the shape of In undergoes an evolution on both and deformations and possible chirality is suggested in In.
