HBTU and IIT Alumni Council Join Forces to Position India as a Global Leader in Novel Materials

Harcourt Butler Technical University (HBTU), one of India’s oldest engineering institutions, founded in 1921, has announced a landmark collaboration with the IIT Alumni Council to establish India as a global hub for novel materials. The initiative centres on two pivotal moves: HBTU’s selection as academic partner for a 30-acre Novel Materials Research Centre (NMRC) near Jewar Airport in the NCR and a new Memorandum of Understanding with ACME Group, India’s foremost renewable energy company, to accelerate industry-integrated research and PhD programs.
