Advanced Research Centre

Advanced Research Centre

Our dedicated Research Centre at Kalunga (Odisha, India) gives emphasis to Basic Research in developing indigenous Raw materials, new product development (NPD) in synchronisation with emerging process changes in user industries.

Flow Control Benchmarking

Conducted under supervision of experienced professionals, our research activities primarily focus on benchmarking various Flow Control Solutions, to set new, higher level solutions to meet emerging customer needs.

Capabilities

With advanced and fully equipped refractory and ceramic development capability which includes metal melting furnaces for verification of material reactions, the research centre underlines our commitment towards continuous improvement.

Delivering Value
Building Sustainability

Through continuous research, we develop processes and products that enable business growth through sustainable measures partnering with the entire value chain, from vendors to end customers.

Various steel-making environments with a captive Induction Furnace are also stimulated, enabling a wholesome validation of the new products, shortening the overall NPD cycle time.

Refractories for Green Steel, Clean Steel, and Hydrogen route steelmaking are also a key area of interest.

Bringing Together
The Best Minds

Our Research Centre establishes innovative interventions in the advanced manufacturing domain by enabling an ecosystem among Institutes of the highest repute globally. Academia-Industry collaborations are leveraged in all facets of research.
