on ‘Recycling of Automotive Waste’. The recommendations emanating from the research study were submitted to the office of PSA, Government of India and further submitted by PSA to the Minister of Environment, Forest and Climate Change as inputs for formulation of the National Policy. A pilot plant has been set up in Chennai based on the findings of the study.
Initiative in Regional Transport Aircraft (RTA):
INAE took an initiative towards the development of Regional Civil Aircraft in the country in year 2016, by organizing a roundtable meet with stakeholders from HAL, CSIR-NAL, ADA-DRDO and other major industries. The outcome was the actionable recommendations, particularly setting up of a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) for undertaking the development of RTA in the country. Subsequently, Engineer’s Conclave was organized in 2017 at CSIR- NAL on this topic. The recommendations were taken up for discussion by NITI Aayog and have been accepted.
