Under the National Mission on Interdisciplinary Cyber-Physical Systems (NM-ICPS), the Department of Science and Technology (DST) has supported four (04) Technology Translation Research Parks (TTRPs) in 2025. Details of these TTRPs are as follows:

 

For the financial year 2025-26, details of funds allocated and utilised by the TTRPs are given below:

 

A total of 98 major research projects are being undertaken by the TTRPs. The TTRP-wise number of projects is as follows:

• I-HUB for Robotics and Autonomous Systems Innovation Foundation: 08 projects
• IHUB NTIHAC Foundation: 56 projects
• Technology Innovation in Exploration & Mining Foundation: 07 projects
• IITI Drishti CPS Foundation: 27 projects

The details of these research projects are provided in Annexure-I.

 

Out of 98 projects mentioned in part (c) above, 10 projects have resulted in development of technologies/ technology products. The institution-wise status of commercialisation and application of the emerging technologies supported through such projects in the country is as follows:

• I-HUB for Robotics and Autonomous Systems Innovation Foundation: 03
• IHUB NTIHAC Foundation: 01
• Technology Innovation in Exploration & Mining Foundation: 01
• IITI Drishti CPS Foundation: 05

In Andhra Pradesh, IITI DRISHTI CPS Foundation, IIT Indore has supported the project “OASIS: Online Aerial Image-based Surface Information System” in collaboration with the Indian Institute of Information Technology Design and Manufacturing (IIITDM) Kurnool, Andhra Pradesh. The project has developed a semi-supervised semantic segmentation model for real-time drone-based object detection and classification. The technology is commercialised through the start-up Bhoodrishti Pvt. Ltd., with application in sectors such as smart cities, defence, and border surveillance.

 

Selection of institutions under TTRP initiative was done following a comprehensive review of the Technology Innovation Hubs (TIHs) under NM-ICPS during FY 2024-25, to assess their progress, outcomes, and readiness for long-term sustainability by a Third-Party Evaluation (TPE) Committee constituted for the purpose. Based on the outcomes of this evaluation, the top performing TIHs were invited to submit proposals for establishing TTRPs. The proposals were subsequently examined by the Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC) against criteria such as alignment with national priorities and NM-ICPS objectives, financial sustainability and operational roadmap, existing industry collaborations and commercialisation potential, capability to build a broad cyber-physical systems (CPS) research and skilling ecosystem, and synergy with existing TIH infrastructure and resources. Based on the SAC’s recommendations, the Mission Governing Board (MGB) approved the establishment of the TTRPs as detailed in part (a) above.

The TTRPs are encouraged to further strengthen translational research, technology development and industry engagement in their respective focus areas, while expanding activities related to technology validation, prototyping and sector-specific applications. These efforts facilitate wider adoption of CPS technologies and support their deployment for public and societal use, leveraging the existing TIH ecosystem.

This information was given by the Minister of State (Independent charge) for the Ministry of Science and Technology & Earth Sciences Dr. Jitendra Singh in a written reply in the Lok Sabha today.
