Biofuels for transportation: India country study
June 18, 2005 to
September 30, 2006
This study will primarily focus on the current scenario on biofuel development in India and assessment of the biofuel potential at the national level based on the economics and availability of resources. Four field visits and six desk studies will be carried out in order to get a better understanding of the field realities, issues, and challenges related to biofuels development. Further, evaluation of the national and international implications of large-scale biofuels development in India and opportunities for collaboration with the developed countries has been envisaged.Bioremediation of Oil Spill / Oil contaminated site at Oil India Ltd.

Development of hyphal fusion mechanism in arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in vitro
April 1, 2002 to
September 30, 2006
The project envisages for the first time use of hyphal fusion method known to be used for other fungi. The use of such a technique was not possible due to non-availability of complete lifecycle on semi synthetic media. The developed technology of growing AMFs (arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi) in vitro at TERI has paved way of employing such techniques for developing genetic variants. The same would be attempted in this project.Sustainable biomass-based model for rural electrification
