The National Centre for Combustion Research and Development (NCCRD) will be inaugurated at the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras, on October 13.
The centre is supported by the Science and Engineering Research Board of the Union Department of Science and Technology (DST). The NCCRD has been established at a total cost of ₹90 crore. A similar centre has been established at the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, as well.
The centre will focus on effective utilisation of combustion as a means of thermo-chemical energy conversion, according to a press release. These will be accomplished by creating a knowledge network with other institutional combustion researchers and industry collaboration in the field of automotive, thermal power and aerospace propulsion. Ahead of the inauguration, the NCCRD is also organising a one-day workshop at IIT Madras on October 12 with focus on automotive combustion.
