Our Centres

The Centre for Advanced Ceramic Materials (CACM) at ARCI is actively pursuing research and technology development activities in several cutting-edge areas of advanced ceramics and glass-ceramics (GCs).

The Centre for Nanomaterials was established with a mandate to develop technologies for large-scale production of nanopowders and also to explore their utilization for applications which cater to either a large Indian market or a market unique to

The Centre for Advanced Powder Metallurgy (CAPM) is a Centre of Excellence (CoE) at ARCI with R&D activities on synthesis and processing of various particulat

Centre for Automotive Energy Materials (CAEM) has been recently set up at Indian Institute of Technology (M) Research Park , Chennai with a focus to start major R&D programmes on Materials and Components Technology for Electric Vehicle (EV) /

Carbon due to its extraordinary properties, is of great importance to the scientists as well technologists.

As far as the field of surface modification technologies are concerned, India has matured significantly in recent years.

The major objective of the Centre is to develop Polymer Electrolyte Membrane fuel cells (PEMFC), one of the low temperature fuel cells, in its entireness and demonstrate its application in Decentralised power generation systems and transportation

The Centre for Laser Processing of Materials (CLPM) works towards the development and promotion of laser-based manufacturing solutions for the Indian industry through:

The Centre for Materials Characterization and Testing (CMCT) is a core group in-charge of characterizing materials of interest to ARCI's technology development activities.

The objectives of the Centre are as follows:

The emergence of new solar energy technologies has been a potential game changer in the modern era of power generation.
