GPS is a name of a specific system supporting satellite navigation.

Saying "ISRO's NavIC GPS constellation" is like saying "Audi's new Mercedes."

That is because you already are aware that both Audi and Mercedes are cars. However, ISRO has several satellite constellations for various purposes such as remote sensing, public and defense GPS, civil aviation, payload development, and many more. Hence the specific mention.
