Jindal Steel, IIT Hyderabad Establish Advanced Steel Centre
Jindal Steel and IIT Hyderabad are joining together to create a new research centre.
The centre will study stronger and more advanced types of steel.
It will be built at the IIT Hyderabad campus in Telangana.
Jindal Steel will invest in setting up the physical facility.
Researchers, students and industry experts will work on practical uses for the steel.
These uses could include buildings, bridges, vehicles, power plants and defence equipment.
The centre will also offer training, workshops, internships and placement opportunities.
The partners hope advanced steel can make projects lighter, stronger, faster and more durable.
Jindal Steel and the Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad signed an MoU to establish a Centre of Excellence.
The centre will develop and demonstrate high-strength, value-added and value-engineered steel products and applications.
Jindal Steel will invest in a physical facility at the IIT Hyderabad campus in Kandi, Telangana.
The initiative will support training, workshops, demonstrations, academic modules, internships and placements.
Applications will target infrastructure, construction, defence, transportation, power, refineries and heavy engineering.
