The #research will encourage #indigenous #production of LGD seeds and machines and significantly reduce #import dependency. #iitmadras expresses sincere gratitude to the Department of Commerce for choosing the institute to implement such an important project.“This is indeed the right time to set up a diamond factory in India, given that diamonds have thermal and electrical properties making it superior to contemporary technologies like silicon, silicon carbide and gallium nitride. IIT Madras will work towards producing diamond wafers suitable for electronic applications. It is a historic moment for IIT Madras for being selected for implementation of such an important project, output of which will be a crucial component of Atmanirbhar Bharat.”, says Prof. V. Kamakoti, Director, #IITMadras on the Institute being selected for this grant.MINISTRY OF EDUCATION, GOVERNMENT OF INDIA Show less
