Projects

IITM Research Park Towards 100% RE

The 11.42 acre IITMRP campus is striving
to achieve net-zero and self-sufficiency
with 100% RE in the next 10 years.

Energy Generation

Alternate energy solutions to power India’s future through solar, wind and continuing R&D on other sustainable options

Energy Storage

High-capacity energy storage solutions tailored for India’s unique terrain that delivers uninterrupted power on demand through cold water, Li-ion and Zinc-air storage

Energy Efficiency

Energy monitoring and optimization for effective utilization of stored energy

Focus Areas

Energy Storage

To make renewable energy available round the clock, energy storage systems play a key role in balancing demand & supply of energy. We are developing energy storage systems like Thermal (Chilled Water) storage, Li-Ion & Zinc-Air batteries, catering to storage requirements across a wide set of applications.

Energy Generation

The future of energy is clean, green and sustainable . We are undertaking research and development across multiple energy generation sources to accelerate the shift towards 100% renewable energy usage.

Energy Efficiency

Enhancing energy efficiency, especially in HVAC will be a critical component in the shift towards Net-Zero emissions. Our major focus is to optimize energy generation, storage & consumption, ensuring fully integrated systems that can be monitored and managed through a comprehensive Energy Management System (EMS).
