Union Minister for Coal and Mines, Shri G. Kishan Reddy, today released the catalogue for commercialization of technologies developed under the Ministry of Mines, Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), Department of Science and Technology (DST) and industry-sponsored programs. This step is important in bridging the gap between research and industry, as it showcases indigenous technologies and facilitates their transfer, adoption, and commercialization by industry.
This initiative aims to systematically document, showcase, and promote technologies developed through government-funded research and industry-supported projects, facilitating their adoption by industry, technology transfer, licensing, and commercialization. This catalog will serve as a common platform connecting technology developers, research institutions, laboratories, start-ups, MSMEs, and industry, enabling promising indigenous technologies to move beyond research and development into industry applications.
Many research and development projects have resulted in valuable technological outputs, including novel processes, prototypes, pilot-scale technologies, patents, and other commercially relevant solutions. However, these outputs are often scattered across individual project reports and institutions. The proposed catalog attempts to address this gap by bringing together verified technical information on such technologies in a single, accessible repository for industry and potential technology adopters.
To facilitate participation in this initiative, the Ministry is seeking standardized and verified technical proposals from Principal Investigators (PIs), Co-Principal Investigators (COPIs), implementing institutions, and technology developers through the Satyabhama portal ( https://research.mines.gov.in/
). The submitted information will support the assessment of technology outcomes, validation of technical details, preparation of technology pipelines, and identification of technologies with commercialization potential . The Commercialization Catalog represents a significant step towards building a technology-driven and industry-oriented innovation ecosystem in India, ensuring that promising research results are translated into practical industrial solutions, economic value, and broad technological impact.
