C-MET welcomes Shri Navneet Kumar, ICAS & OSD to Hon'ble Union Minister, MeitY, Government of India, at the Centre for Materials for Electronics Technology (C-MET), Pune today.

Shri Navneet Kumar reviewed the ongoing research activities and technology development initiatives across all three C-MET laboratories — Pune, Hyderabad, and Thrissur.
The review covered a wide spectrum of strategic and futuristic themes, including:

💎 Ultra-High Purity Materials — critical for advanced electronics and quantum applications

♻️ Circular Economy of E-Waste — C-MET's pioneering work in sustainable material recovery

🔬 Sensors and Actuators — enabling smart electronics and indigenous component development

📦 ISM 2.0 & Critical Minerals for Strategic Sectors — supporting India's semiconductor and defence ecosystem

⚛️ Quantum Materials & 2D Materials — towards National Quantum Mission activities

🏭 Packaging Technology & Additive Manufacturing — bridging R&D with industry needs

A key highlight was the presentation of C-MET's remarkable success stories — translating cutting-edge research into real-world spin-off technologies — spanning e-waste valorisation, breast cancer detection technologies, and advanced materials for Quantum Technologies.

Shri Navneet Kumar also visited the R&D facilities of the Pune Laboratory, gaining first-hand insight into the progress of indigenous technology development mission-mode projects currently underway at C-MET, aligned to various National Missions including the National Quantum Mission (NQM), National Critical Mineral Mission (NCMM), and India Semiconductor Mission (ISM). 🇮🇳

🌟 A Proud Moment for C-MET! 🌟
We are delighted to share that Dr. R. Ratheesh, Director General, C-MET (Centre for Materials for Electronics Technology), was invited to deliver a lecture on "Materials for Energy Transition" at the prestigious German Aerospace Centre (DLR), Cologne, Germany 🇩🇪 on June 11, 2026.
The event was jointly organized by the German Aerospace Centre (DLR) and the University of Cologne — a testament to the growing recognition of Indian expertise in advanced materials science on the global stage. 🇮🇳🤝🇩🇪

🌕 A Special Highlight — The LUNA Moon Facility!
As part of the visit, Dr. Ratheesh also had the rare opportunity to tour the LUNA Moon Facility at the German Aerospace Centre — the only facility of its kind in the world. This extraordinary setup replicates realistic lunar conditions, enabling scientists and engineers to prepare for human and robotic missions to the Moon.
