Advanced battery-tech start-up Log9 Materials has collaborated with Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi to promote excellence in research and development in the areas of developing advanced battery and energy storage solutions including battery packs for electric vehicles, Released on Thursday.
The strategic three-year collaboration between Log9 and the Centre for Automotive Research and Tribology (CART) at IIT Delhi has been established and finalized through an umbrella MoU (Memorandum of Understanding), which was recently signed by the Delhi Science and Technology (IIT) Delhi. S&T) was signed between the clusters. and Log9 Materials Scientific Pvt Ltd, it said.
The Delhi S&T Cluster is managed by the Delhi Research Implementation and Innovation (DRIIV) Foundation, an initiative of the Office of the Principal Scientific Advisor to the Government of India.
Log9 Materials said that as part of this initial agreement, DRIIV has agreed to facilitate a long-term collaboration between CART and Log9, which will work together on a number of academic and industry-oriented projects over the coming months and years.
We are proud to announce a strategic collaboration with IIT-Delhi’s CART player, facilitated and enabled by the active support of DRIIV. With the rapid growth of electric mobility and energy sectors in India over the past few years, a dire need has been felt for industry-academic partnerships to foster innovation, research and talent in these areas, – A. Singhal, Log 9 Materials Founder and CEO, Said.
He said that this forward-looking agreement will not only address these issues but will also go ahead to provide breakthrough research and solutions and thus will be a much-needed boost towards EV and energy storage ecosystem in the country. Additionally, implementation of this initial agreement could go a long way in achieving self-sufficiency in electric vehicles by driving local innovations on a large scale.
BK Panigrahi, Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering IIT-Delhi and Head of CART and PI of DRIIV’s E-Mobility Cluster, said: – This is a great opportunity for us to collaborate on various research fronts with Log 9 materials. I look forward to the implementation of various research projects by the IIT-Delhi faculty as well as training and internship opportunities for students and scholars to make this collaboration productive.
