Recently, Indian Scientists have developed a unique laser-based clad coating technology (LCCT) that provides improved protection to the boiler parts in thermal power plants.

• It can enhance life of boiler parts by 2- 3 times compared to currently use surfacing technologies.

This technology is suitable, not only for boiler parts of thermal power plants but also for any engineering application involving high temperature erosive and corrosive environment.   

Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi recently launched the Indian Space Association (ISpA). He also remarked that the Government's approach to space reforms is based on 4 pillars: The freedom of innovation to the private sector, the role of the government as an enabler, preparing youth for the future and to see the space sector as a resource for the progress of the common man.

The Quantum Communication Lab was recently inaugurated at Centre for Development of Telematics (C-DOT).  The indigenously developed Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) solution by C-DOT was also unveiled which can support a distance of more than 100 kilometers on standard optical fiber. Development of indigenous QKD solution is essential to address security threats of data posed by rapid advancement in Quantum Computing.

• C-DOT is a premier telecom research & development organization under Department of Telecommunications, Government of India, is leading the effort in the Quantum Communications vertical of NM-QTA.
