Success stories
Selected transfers and enablement journeys showing how G-TEC helps technologies progress toward adoption and commercialisation.
G-TEC facilitated the transfer of a pipeline lifting and positioning device to GAIL as a safer, portable alternative to sandbag-based pipeline levelling.
The adjustable apparatus supports field requirements from 5 kN to 1000 kN. It improves worksite safety, moisture resistance and deployment efficiency across multiple locations, demonstrating how practical engineering research can move into industrial use.
A portable and temperature-controlled drying system was transferred to the Government of Mizoram for high-value horticultural crops.
The technology addresses post-harvest loss in ginger, bird's eye chilli and saffron while supporting product quality, value addition and stronger market access. The transfer was formally handed over on 16 December 2024.
The University of Ladakh received a hybrid solar dehydrator suited to crops such as apricots and sea buckthorn.
Automatic temperature control and energy-efficient operation improve drying quality in high-altitude conditions. The transfer supports lower post-harvest loss and more sustainable value addition for Ladakhi farmers.
Patent support and strategic mentoring helped researchers develop six serum biomarkers for detecting multiple cancers through a non-invasive blood test.
The innovation secured NIDHI PRAYAS funding and is advancing toward a miniaturised electrochemical immuno-sensing platform for clinical use. G-TEC supported patent filing, venture formation and the pathway from research evidence to product development.
A patented composite using rice straw and plastic waste was developed to improve concrete performance and sustainability.
The material targets cracking, freeze-thaw damage and water ingress while reducing cement consumption and carbon emissions. With G-TEC guidance, the innovators registered a startup to commercialise circular construction solutions.
