NFTDC is an autonomous and self financing
R & D institution under the aegis of Ministry
of Mines, dedicated to the development of Advanced
Materials + Innovative Processes on the one
hand and Engineering Design + Analysis and
Electronics + Instrumentation + Control
leading to component and systems development &
integration on the other. NFTDC is an unique
Technology Centre, in that it is a multi
disciplinary knowledge domain based institution
which enables the centre to undertake complex
technology development endeavours as
interdisciplinary projects involving both
knowledge creation (scientific know-why) and
knowledge integration (technical knowhow). NFTDC’s
uniqueness also stems from its three genetic
characteristics, namely (i) self financing nature,
(ii) its multi disciplinary all executive Human
resource and (iii) R & D policy of applied R
& D as contract / sponsored research oriented
to needs of user agencies.
NFTDC is involved in development of advanced
materials, components and systems in high
technology areas such as (i) Aerospace &
Aeronautical (ii) Automotive, (iii) Energy
(conventional and nonconventional), (iv)
Metallurgical & Process Engineering, (v)
Biomedical and Health care and (vi) Environment
sectors. The basic core competence of NFTDC in (a)
Design, (b) Advanced materials & Manufacturing
and (c) Controls and Instrumentation have been
integrated in all projects to render technology
solutions in an end to end paradigm. NFTDC's
systems approach to technology development enables
concept to product development thus addressing the
real gaps in translational research. NFTDC has
state of art facilities in design, advanced
manufacturing, product development and pilot
production together with advanced testing &
characterization facilities. Centre of Excellence
in (a) EV and Hybrid EV Drives under National
Mission on Electric Mobility (NMEM), (b) Materials
& Energy Systems, (c) Advanced manufacturing
Technologies cater to development next generation
technologies.
