Institute, Indian Rubber Manufacturers Research Association, and the
National Productivity Council. Table 1.15 shows that the budgetary
provision under project-based support to autonomous institutions
has increased by almost double. However, it is important to note
that many technological innovations in India take place in private or
non-governmental organizations. Moreover, technologies developed
for industries in other countries may have to be adapted to Indian
conditions.

Policies Promoting Industrial Innovation
There have been several initiatives taken up by the Government
of India, under various ministries, to promote R&D activities in the
industrial sector. Some of the major initiatives for energy-intensive
industrial sub-sectors have been listed in Table 1.16.

Aluminium Jawaharlal Nehru Aluminium Research Development and Design Centre (JNARDDC):
• Implemented by the Ministry of Mines (MoM), in collaboration with UNDP
• Performs the task of assimilating technologies within India and abroad; and,
develops new technologies for the production of alumina and aluminium.
• Research on rare earth elements (REE) and energy critical elements (ECE) and
other issues related to exhaustion and fast decline of mineral deposits.
