The new R&D facility marks a significant milestone in advancing energy transition technologies and in turbomachinery research. It aims to develop sustainable, high-efficiency systems that can help industries improve process performance, enhance energy efficiency, and reduce carbon emissions.

Built on a long-standing collaboration between TTL and IISc, the Centre strengthens their shared vision of driving innovation through academia–industry partnerships. The two institutions have previously collaborated on developing CO₂ heat pump systems, a pioneering initiative in energy efficient industrial solutions.
