IITM Pravartak Technologies Foundation partnered with the Indian Army’s Corps of Electronics and Mechanical Engineers to boost defence indigenisation efforts. The collaboration focuses on developing indigenous engineering solutions to reduce reliance on foreign technologies. A Nodal Indigenisation Centre has been set up in Avadi, Chennai, to support this initiative. The partnership emphasises bridging the gap between field requirements and academic research, fostering innovation in areas such as sensing systems, cyber-physical systems, autonomous technologies, and upgrading legacy military equipment, ultimately enhancing India’s self-reliance in defence production.
