Air and Water Quality report of Maharashtra
December 27, 2017
| Ongoing project
The Maharashtra Pollution Control Board (MPCB) regularly monitors the qualitative state of the water resources across the state as well as the air quality across various locations in the state. TERI has been extending support to the State Pollution Control Board in sorting and analyzing the data sets whilst developing graphical and spatial illustrations.
Engineering the Nodulation Signaling Pathway in Rice Plant
December 27, 2017
| Ongoing project
| Sustainable Agriculture
The study aims to engineer Nodulation signal perception mechanism in rice plant. This is a critical step in paving way for the development of N2-fixing symbiosis in this cereal crop to enable it to synthesise its own nitrogen fertiliser for its growth, akin to legumes.

Dental Nanocomposite resins based on hybrid dimethacrylates: Mechanical, wear and shrinkage characteristics
December 27, 2017
| Ongoing project
These resins will be biocompatible and can be used as dental restoratives. These materials will have good wear characteristics and enhanced mechanical properties. In this study, alkoxy silane will be used along with a mixture of dimethacrylates.
Mapping, identification of molecular markers associated with heat tolerance QTLs in tomato
December 27, 2017
| Ongoing project
| Sustainable Agriculture
Tomato is one of the most significant vegetable crops grown worldwide. However, important traits such as pollen meiosis, germination, ovule development, viability and development of the embryo and fruit set of most tomato cultivars are adversely affected under temperatures higher than 35°C. This leads to non-availability in certain months.
Developing a recycling plan for old solar PVs
December 27, 2017
| Ongoing project
| Energy
The project is to study challenges in the inter-connection of solar PV based microgrid with distribution grids and develop standardized architecture/road map to accelerate the solar PV based microgrid development in India and Develop a recycling plan for solar PV module and new battery technology used in microgrids applications.
Mapping Policies and Stakeholders on Climate Adaptation for Crop-Based Systems in the Global South
December 27, 2017
| Ongoing project
| Resource Efficiency & Governance
Climate change posed a serious challenge to the agriculture systems not only given its implications for food security and livelihoods but also given the current agrarian distress characterized by declining growth rates in yield, depleting soil fertility, and receding groundwater resources, rising cultivation costs, and inflation.
Enabling Cities to Implement Innovative Sustainable Urban Solutions
December 27, 2017
| Ongoing project
| Sustainable Habitat | Climate Change
India is on the cusp of urbanisation with around 34% of the country’s population currently living in cities and a rate of urbanisation higher than most South Asian countries. By 2030, it is expected that 40% of India’s population will be living in urban areas, contributing to more than two-thirds of the country’s gross domestic product (GDP).
