The Technology Innovation Hub (TIH) on Underwater Exploration by the National Mission of Cyber-Physical Systems, is also a key project for the company.
Recently, IIT Guwahati collaborated with National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC) Limited to design and create a highly efficient carbon dioxide capture facility for the power plants.
