What Is the Partnership?

Axtel Industries has secured an exclusive technology transfer and licensing agreement with FSID, IISc, for the commercialization of high-performance grinding technology. The scope includes a fully integrated, tested, and validated prototype of a Cryogenic Impact Milling System along with essential technical documentation and process know-how. Under the financial terms, Axtel will pay up to ₹3 crore for the prototype hardware, with further royalties linked to future sales performance, subject to a monetary ceiling of ₹3 crore.

This collaboration ensures Axtel has the necessary technical support to manufacture these advanced systems locally for specialized industrial applications.

Partner Profile

The Foundation for Science, Innovation and Development (FSID) acts as the single-window interface for the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) to engage with industrial partners. Based in Bengaluru, IISc is India's premier institution for scientific research, established in 1909. FSID facilitates the translation of IISc’s scientific capabilities into industrial applications through technology transfer and deep-tech incubation.

The cryogenic technology being licensed was indigenously developed by FSID-IISc under Phase II of the Capital Goods Scheme of the Ministry of Heavy Industries, specifically aiming to reduce national dependence on imported machinery and support indigenous manufacturing ecosystems.

What It Unlocks

  • Access to advanced cryogenic milling technology currently unavailable among domestic Indian manufacturers
  • Ability to manufacture fine powders from heat-sensitive materials like polymers, rubbers, and resins
  • Substantial savings in foreign exchange by substituting high-cost imported grinding machinery
  • Expanded technological capabilities for Axtel across permitted industrial fields of use
  • Alignment with Atmanirbhar Bharat objectives through the commercialization of indigenous research

Strategic Commentary

this unique cryogenic grinding technology, currently not available with Indian companies, will permit the manufacture of powders of polymers, rubbers, resins and other natural materials to fine sizes which cannot be achieved by conventional technologies.

— Mr. Ajay Desai, Executive Director, Axtel Industries

“making such equipment in India will significantly reduce India’s dependence of importation of these very high-cost machines, as also the importation of such powders which will result in substantial savings in foreign exchange.”

— Mr. Ajay Parikh, Executive Director
