Projects

India’s energy challenges are problems without borders, requiring technology and engineering solutions. Technology solutions at scale in India are potentially global solutions and industry-academia partnerships give power and momentum to such technology developments.

The consortium would be a strategic partner to help incubate and groom technology that is in the discovery and feasibility stages and to assist those in the pilot demonstration levels through use case scenario validations and techno-economic studies geared to understand scaling and commercialization aspects.

The idea is to enhance and accelerate R&D efforts of the consortium members on topics of mutual interest/ benefit by partnering with IITM.
