MOIL need to contribute Manganese for use in batteries of electric vehicles. and Tungsten for Defence Manufacturing, says Steel Minister Shri Birender Singh

MOIL must make significant contribution to Make in India by developing technology to meet Manganese requirement of batteries to be used in Electric Vehicles etc., said Steel Minister Shri Birender Singh while chairing mid-year review meeting of MOIL, a PSU under Ministry of Steel. The Minister asked the PSU to plan for building capacities in tungsten mining and production for strengthening manufacturing capabilities for defense production in India. The meeting was attended by Secretary, Steel Dr. Aruna Sharma, senior officials from Ministry of Steel and top management of MOIL.

Shri Singh further said, “MOIL should strategically plan for forward integration to leverage its leadership position of Manganese Ore production in India. The company can think of acquiring or taking majority stake in ferro-alloy production facilities, in addition to expansion efforts. There is huge potential for e-rickshaws, e-tempos and e-cars in India, which MOIL must be prepared for harnessing. In fact, the company should innovate to find new uses of Manganese Ore, apart from steel making, dry cell batteries and paints. R&D efforts should aim for development of new technologies rather than updating or buying technologies from others. The company need to work on utilizing every grade of ore gainfully including the lowest quality ore. Steel Ministry will support every R&D initiative aimed at self-sufficiency and indigenisation. Mineral exploration activities need to be speeded up for strengthening the resource base in India.Shri Birender Singh added that MOIL can also examine the feasibility of using alternate modes of ore transportation, which could be environment friendly and cost effective. For closure of mines, sand requirement can be met by innovative means like collaboration with local farmers. MOIL should aim to become the industry leader in innovation and technology development to such a level that other companies from abroad look upto MOIL for technology support.

In view of increase in requirement for manganese for steel production capacities upto 300 million tonnes and insufficient availability of the ore in India, MOIL must also explore the possibility of acquiring or taking stake in manganese ore assets abroad the Minister said.

The research centre is aimed to boost the Indian scientific community, and is the largest in the world. PTI file photo.

http://www.deccanherald.com/content/637656/worlds-largest-combustion-research-centre.html


The world's largest combustion research centre which will impart a major boost to the Indian scientific community was inaugurated at the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras today.

The National Centre for Combustion Research and Development (NCCRD) was inaugurated by NITI Aayog member VK Saraswat in the presence of Prof Ashutosh Sharma, Secretary, Department of Science and Technology, a release by the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras (IIT-M) said.

This is the world's largest combustion research centre, it said. "With over 30 faculty members from six departments of IIT-M working on the project, this is the largest grouping of academic combustion researchers globally. In addition, the infrastructure facilities are also the largest for any combustion research centre in an academic setting globally," it said.

NCCRD's research interests will cover automotive, thermal power and aerospace propulsion, besides fire research and microgravity combustion to minor extent, the release said.

"The NCCRD has been established at a total cost of Rs 90 crore. It will develop state-of-the-art capabilities in combustion research involving experts in the country," it said.

"The establishment of the centre will impart a major boost to the Indian scientific community and will provide an impetus to research in 'Alternative Energy and Environmental Protection' by focusing on effective utilisation of combustion as a means of thermo-chemical energy conversion," the release said. NCCRD is supported by the state-run Science and Engineering Research Board of Department of Science and Technology (DST), it said. Saraswat was quoted as saying that NCCRD was one of the premier centres in the country.

"The intention is to make it a knowledge base in areas like gasification, combustion, propulsion and automotive sectors. This is one of the best diagnostic centres in the country to understand combustion," he said. NCCRD has been set up as a nodal centre in the region and any institute and industry can work with it as it is totally IT-enabled and possess a strong simulation facility, the NITI Ayog member said.

IIT-M director Bhaskar Ramamurthi said energy, emission of carbon dioxide and pollutant gases have become very important due to climate change, global warming and other impact that combustion has. "This centre will play a pivotal role in making sure that India has access to the latest technologies in all these areas," he said. Many industrial and R&D organisations like Mahindra, TVS, AVL, GAIL, GE, Shell, BHEL, DRDO (DRDL, GTRE, CFEES), NAL, ISRO, Forbes-Marshall, Siemens, Thermax, Cummins, FM Global, Tata Power, VTT and Valmet are working closely with NCCRD, the release added.

NEW DELHI: The Indian Navy and the Indian Coast Guard will soon have their respective vessels installed with small and medium-sized diesel engines manufactured by Cooper Corporation,one of the leading manufacturers of engines in India.

A strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) in this regard was inked between Cooper Corporation and Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers Ltd. (GRSE), a Government of India undertaking.

The MoU was signed by Sarvjit Singh Dogra, Director (Finance) on behalf of GRSE and Farrokh N. Cooper, Chairman and Managing Director, Cooper Corporation.

This collaboration aims at setting up a fully indigenous product line of marine diesel engines specifically designed and developed for Indian Navy and Indian Coast Guard, a home-grown alternative to multinational brands currently available in the market.

Cooper Corporation will helm the design and manufacture of these diesel engines for marine DG set application, ranging from 50 KW - 500 KW.

GRSE will integrate these DG set at their Diesel Engine Plant (DEP) at Ranchi and subsequently sell it to their prospective customers- Indian Navy, Indian Coast Guard, Shipbuilders in India and abroad.

Farrokh Cooper said, "It's a very proud moment for us to be associated with Government of India - Ministry of Defence and a big achievement for a company which has graduated from cast iron engine components to contemporary engines. We are glad to partnerwith GRSE and will provide our best-in-class marine diesel engines armed with superior design and manufacturing quality to offer efficient and path-breaking power supply solutions for the Indian Navy and Indian Coast Guard.This effort is in line with promoting Government's Make-in-India initiative."

Sarvjit Singh Dogra said, "We are happy topartner with Cooper Corporation for the development of high quality, clean and fuel-efficientenginesto meet the requirements of Indian Navy and Indian Coast Guard.This MoU will facilitate mutual sharing of best practices and expertise, making it a fine example of engineering, technology and product innovation collaboration between GRSE and Cooper Corporation."

Cooper Corporation operates out of 11 plants in Satara, Maharashtra, with the help of experienced consultants from all over the world. Its products have a global appeal and acceptance, including in places like Central America, Africa, South Africa, Saudi Arabia, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Russia, Ukraine, UAE, Vietnam and Afghanistan.

Cooper today supplies auto parts and engine components to all leading OEMs in India and across the world from Japan to Europe and the USA.

Why they are making it for NATO ? Not for India.

Tonbo Imaging and MKU Industries have been selling many of their products to various NATO and western armed forces. The recent procurement of Light weight helmets for IA from MKU was initiated only after IA conducted a joint exercise with a NATO/US unit and realized that the helmets they've been using were procured from an Indian firm.

Hopefully, at least now GoI and IA realize the potential of private Indian defense firms and start procuring indigenously developed products rather than craving for foreign maal in favor of the kickbacks and commissions they receive
