Jindal Steel, IIT Hyderabad Establish Advanced Steel Centre
Jindal Steel and IIT Hyderabad are creating a new Centre of Excellence.
The centre will be located at the IIT Hyderabad campus.
It will study stronger and more advanced types of steel.
These steels could be used in buildings, bridges, pipes, defence equipment, power plants and vehicles.
The goal is to make structures lighter, stronger and longer-lasting.
The new materials may also help projects use less material and finish faster.
Students, teachers and company experts will work together on real-world projects.
The centre will offer training, workshops, internships and demonstrations.
It will also work with companies and government agencies to help test and use the new steel products.
Jindal Steel and IIT Hyderabad signed an MoU on Friday to establish a Centre of Excellence at the institute’s campus.
The centre will develop and demonstrate high-strength, value-added and value-engineered steel products and applications.
Planned applications include buildings, bridges, pipes, defence, heavy equipment, power plants, refineries, transportation and heavy engineering.
The partnership combines IIT Hyderabad’s technical and research capabilities with Jindal Steel’s manufacturing, metallurgical and engineering expertise.
Activities will include technical demonstrations, training, workshops, internships, placements, academic modules and evaluations with industry and government stakeholders.
