PROJECTS
ARCI collaborates with various government and private organizations through multiple channels in key areas such as powder metallurgy, battery materials, nanomaterials, surface engineering, sol-gel coating, laser processing of materials, ceramic processing, carbon materials, fuel cell technology, solar energy materials, and automotive energy materials. Additionally, each year, ARCI undertakes assignments in the form of job work and characterization to provide technical solutions to the industry. The PM-IPR Cell supports the organization by disseminating calls for proposals, facilitating the processing of project proposals, creating and maintaining a database of projects, and monitoring their technical progress.
