Support to Madhya Pradesh Madhya Kshetra Distribution Company Limited (MPMKDCL) in implementing rooftop solar power plants

March 14, 2017 to

December 15, 2017

The MP government has desired the MPMKDCL to support the installation of 10 MW additional rooftop solar plants in the state. Following a MPMKDCL request, the MNRE has sanctioned 10 MW capacity to MPMKDCL and desired the German Development Cooperation to extend its support.

In this effort, TERI is providing consultancy services to the German Development Cooperation to supporting implementation of the rooftop solar power plants in the DISCOM’s network.

An assessment of co-benefits of low carbon pathway on air quality, human health and agricultural productivity in India

An integrated approach for biofuel production by coupling with microbial-based textile wastewater treatment

November 19, 2014 to

November 20, 2017

The project deals with research investigation on utilization of textile dye effluent for algal biomass production. This would help in the development of process for bioremediation of textile waste along with energy generation (biofuel) by producing algal biomass.

Water4Crops

November 5, 2012 to

November 4, 2017

Water4Crops project involves multidisciplinary issues of water management, provides an opportunity to efficiently utilize low quality industrial (food) and municipal wastewater and facilitate developing various technologies for wastewater treatment and its feasible use in agriculture. This project would also describe practical solutions of wastewater treatment and its management which open-up various avenues to scale-up such technologies.

Providing Inputs to Support CCFU on Emerging Issues on Climate finance and Green finance for the G20 Meetings under German Presidency

March 18, 2017 to

October 31, 2017

The project aims at supporting the country position on Climate and Green Finance in the international discourses including the G20 meeting under the German Presidency, through an evidence-based research and analysis on emerging issues.

High throughout metagenomic approach for probiotic lactic acid bacteria from camel milk

September 29, 2014 to

October 28, 2017

Lactic acid bacteria are widely distributed in different raw materials viz. milk, meat, flour, soil, water plants, silage, waste products and also in the intestinal tract of animals and humans. Camel milk is different from other ruminant milk in nutritional as well as therapeutic value and also is a rich source of proteins with potential antimicrobial and protective activities. In the proposed work, lactic acid bacteria will be isolated and characterized using molecular tools and will be monitored for their prospective probiotics properties.

Understanding molecular mechanism of sheath blight resistance in rice

October 1, 2014 to

September 30, 2017

| Sustainable Agriculture

Rice sheath blight, caused by the soil-borne fungal pathogen Rhizoctonia solani Kuhn, cause up to 50% yield loss in a susceptible cultivar. No complete resistance against sheath blight has been identified in either commercial rice cultivars or wild related species. The genes found on the QTL regions associated with sheath blight may have critical role in conferring disease resistance. This project aims to molecularly characterize genes involved in lignin biosynthesis and regulation.

Assessing future electricity demand profiles for a Discom and developing an open source demand forecasting tool

September 27, 2017 to

September 27, 2017

The project aims to develop an open source analytical tool for assessing expected/likely demand profile for next few years which helps key stakeholders in the power sector to enable better policy making. The study comprises of two parts –

- Assessing the future demand profile for a utility under different consumption scenarios

- Development of open source analytical tool for assessing the future demand profile
