ARCI signs Know-How Transfer with Allox Minerals
R & D Institutions, Industry and the Government need to work together to nurture and develop EV mobility in India, said Dr Anil Kakodkar, Chairman, ARCI Governing Council.
He underlined the importance of having a synergy among various organizations having complementary capabilities. Accordingly,
Dr Kakodkar congratulated International Advanced Research Centre for Powder Metallurgy and New Materials (ARCI), an Autonomous R&D Centre of Department of Science and Technology, for having developed indigenous technology for the production of Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) cathode material for Li-ion Batteries (LiBs) at its Centre for Nanomaterials.
ARCI has signed an Agreement for Know-How Transfer on 12 August 2021 with Hyderabad-based Allox Minerals for taking the technology forward and contributing to Nation’s self-reliance in technologies for the EV domain.
Allox Minerals is the first recipient of the technology.
Dr Tata Narasinga Rao, Director (Additional Charge), ARCI stated that the cost of cathode materials contributes significantly towards the overall cost of LiBs, and as India is heavily dependent on import of these materials, it became essential to indigenously develop a technology for the manufacture of electrode materials and support industrial organizations in LIB technology.
Rajiv Reddy, Director Allox Minerals added that his company is looking forward to successfully commercialising LFP technology.
The technology was developed under the Technical Research Centre (TRC) on Alternative Energy Materials and Systems and the know-how for the technology is available for transfer on a non-exclusive basis. #technology #investment #manufacturing /fiinews.com
