Simon India, IIT Bombay Partner on Green Tech R&D

• Simon India partners with IIT-Bombay NCoE-CCUS for low-carbon tech
• Green hydrogen & ammonia, carbon capture, circular economy, rare earth recovery
• IIT-Bombay provides research & labs; Simon India drives industrial implementation

A sustainable solutions provider named Simon India Ltd (SIL), which operates from Gurugram, has established a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IIT-Bombay) to develop next-generation green and low-carbon technologies through their National Centre of Excellence in Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage (NCoE-CCUS) Department of Earth Sciences.

Simon India has partnered with IIT Bombay to advance green technologies and low carbon technologies, promoting clean energy research, sustainability innovation, and decarbonization through an engineering research partnership, while driving climate technology solutions and enhancing industrial sustainability.

The research expertise of IIT Bombay, combined with Simon India's engineering and industrial execution capabilities, to enable sustainability-focused sectors to achieve their technology development, pilot validation and commercialisation goals.

The two institutions will conduct joint research on green hydrogen, green ammonia, carbon capture, utilisation, storage, circular economy, waste-to-value solutions, energy efficiency, low-carbon industrial processes, rare earth recovery, advanced fertilisers and chemical derivatives according to the MoU.
