Innovations & R&D Facilities
Founded the Technology Innovation Hub (TIH) in “Mining Technology” in the name of TEXMiN for developing technologies, innovation, and startup ecosystems in mining and earth science domains with substantial contributions from both Govt. and Industries
25 startup companies in the Mining Technology domain are incubated in TEXMiN with substantial financial support. Most of the founders are from top-notch institutions, including IITs.
42 projects of Technology Development are presently executed in TEXMiN under my Guidance, out of which 10 technologies are commercialized and used in coal and metal mines.
SANDVIK Mine Automation Learning Centre (SMAC), an automation center established with SANDVIK collaboration for academic, R&D, and Capacity Building in Digital Mining Technologies
Dassault Mining Technology Centre, a CoE established in collaboration with Dassault Systems for 3D mapping and monitoring, modeling, AR/VR training, Mine Planning, 3D rendering technologies for creating a realistic representation of mines for training, visualization and remote operations purposes, design, and simulation of mechanical, electromechanical, mechatronics, and robotic system.
The Coal India Innovation and Incubation Centre (CII Centre) was established with collaboration from CIL to nurture early innovators to ideate in mining technology and promote economically viable startups through pre-incubation and incubation.
